Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance, also called "AD&D", is insurance coverage that pays a cash benefit in the event of a covered injury or death due to an accident.
-
Accidental death and dismemberment insurance only pays a benefit as the direct result of an accident. Life insurance pays no matter how a death occurs.
-
You can choose single coverage or family coverage. Single coverage applies only to you. Family coverage protects you, your spouse and your dependent (or handicapped) children. Your spouse will be insured at 50% of the coverage level you choose. Dependent and handicapped children will be covered for 20%. Family coverage also includes additional benefits for child care and college education, as well as a child savings fund benefit. (Exact benefit features may vary by state.)

Anyone can notify us of a death. But only named beneficiaries noted in your policy can submit the necessary documents or evidence to claim the payments.
-
Your AD&D coverage amount may show $0.00 because your credit union no longer offers this benefit, or you are no longer a member of that credit union. In some cases, complimentary coverage can expire.
