Accidental Death & Dismemberment
Ithaca College Plan Provider - Sun Life
AD&D insurance benefits are paid in addition to any life insurance you may have. It pays benefits if you die as a result of a covered accident, such as a traffic accident or fall – not natural causes. It also pays partial benefits if you lose your vision, hearing, speech, or a bodily appendage (fingers, limb, etc.) in a covered accident. A benefit may also be payable for conditions such as coma, paralysis or total disability if due to a covered accident. Limitations and exclusions apply.
Basic AD&D Insurance
The College provides each benefits-eligible employee with $50,000 of AD&D insurance. If you are age 65 or older, special provisions apply. Coverage amounts are reduced by 35% at age 65; 60% at age 70; and 75% at age 75.
Employee Voluntary AD&D Coverage
You may purchase additional, voluntary AD&D insurance in increments of $20,000. The maximum amount of coverage you may purchase is $300,000. If you are age 65 or older, special provisions apply. Coverage amounts are reduced by 35% at age 65; 60% at age 70; and 75% at age 75.
