AD&D Insurance

When the unexpected happens, having a safety net in place brings peace of mind. Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) offers financial protection for you and your loved ones. Alera Group provides company-paid coverage automatically. You have the option to purchase additional protection for yourself and your family.

The Basics

How It Works

Alera Group automatically provides Basic AD&D Insurance at no cost. You can purchase additional Voluntary AD&D Insurance for yourself, your spouse/domestic partner, and your children as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, and within 30 days after a qualified life event.

What’s Covered

Basic AD&D Insurance pays a benefit if you suffer an accidental injury or pass away due to a covered accident. For Voluntary AD&D Insurance, the amount you, your spouse/domestic partner, and children can elect varies. See below for details.

What It Pays

Benefits are paid to you (in the event of an injury) or your beneficiary (if you pass away). You must choose a beneficiary through the Alera Group Benefits Center.

Your Coverage Details

Basic AD&D Insurance

Your benefit is equal to one times your annual earnings, with a $50,000 minimum and $200,000 maximum benefit.

Voluntary AD&D Insurance

Employee

You can purchase up to $1,000,000 of Voluntary AD&D Insurance for yourself.

Spouse/Domestic Partner

You can purchase up to $500,000 for your spouse/domestic partner, but the amount you purchase can’t exceed 50% of your coverage amount.

Children

You can purchase coverage in the following amounts:

  • $1,000 for children 14 days to 6 months
  • $10,000 or $20,000 for children 6 months to age 26

Your Paycheck Costs

Premiums for coverage depend on the benefit amount you select and are deducted from your paycheck after taxes. You will see the amounts when you enroll through the Alera Group Benefits Center.

Benefits Reduce at Age 70

When you reach age 70, the basic and voluntary benefit amounts reduce by 50%.

Taking Your Coverage With You

You can take your AD&D insurance with you if you retire or leave Alera Group by completing the conversion election form or portability election form.
