... within 90 days after (and as a result of) a covered accident that occurs while you (or the dependent) are covered under this Plan, you or your beneficiary(ies) will receive a benefit.*

The actual benefit amount will be based on the extent of the loss, as shown in the table below.

* You are automatically the beneficiary of any AD&D benefits payable as a result of a covered dependent's death. For additional information, see Naming A Beneficiary.

Total Disability Feature

If you become totally disabled* as a result of an accident (the type of which is covered by this Plan) and you die more than 90 days after the accident while you are still disabled, your beneficiary(ies) may receive a death benefit.

* For the purposes of this provision, you will be considered totally disabled if you are unable to work for pay or profit.

The benefit amount payable, if any, will equal 100% of your coverage amount, less the amount of any dismemberment benefit payments you received as a result of the accident. To be eligible for this benefit, the accident causing the disability must have occurred while you were...

  • Covered under this Plan, and

  • Under age 60.
