Supplemental Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance

Overview

Supplemental AD&D coverage provides an insurance benefit in the event of death or dismemberment resulting from a covered accident. This coverage is in addition to AD&D benefit automatically included with your IU-sponsored Basic Life Insurance.

Eligibility

Full-time (75% FTE or greater) Academic and Staff employees (including IU Residents) actively employed by IU are eligible to enroll in the plan.

Employees can also insure their spouse and dependent children (through age 25) under the family coverage option. Coverage for disabled dependents may be kept in force beyond age 25 if proof of total disability is provided within 31 days of the date when coverage would have ended due to the age limit. To be eligible for coverage, dependents cannot be full-time members of the armed forces of any country, cannot be insured by more than one employee, and cannot be insured as both an employee and a dependent.

Enrollment

Employee may enroll in Supplemental AD&D within 30 days of becoming eligible (typically your date of hire or date of transfer into an eligible position). After 30 days, enrollment in the plan may only occur during the annual Open Enrollment period. Outside of these enrollment periods, changes may only be made within 30 days of an IRS-qualifying life event.

Enrollment continues as long as the employee remains eligible and pays the premium. Coverage for dependents ends when they no longer qualify as dependents.


When Coverage Ends

Participants may voluntarily terminate coverage only during the annual Open Enrollment period, or within 30 days of certain IRS-qualifying life events. Coverage otherwise ends when benefit eligibility ends, usually due to separation from IU employment or transferring to an ineligible position. A covered employee may port their coverage to an individual policy by submitting a completed portability application and the first premium payment to the policy underwriter, The Standard, within 31 days after the date group coverage ends. Please contact IU Human Resources to request completion of the employer portion of the application at or (812) 856-1234.
