Designate your Beneficiary Here!
The AFT has arranged for all active, working and retired members* in good standing to have a $5,000 accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance policy from Federal Insurance Company, a member insurer of the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies. The AD&D benefit is included in your AFT local union membership, so you’re already covered.
Whether an accident resulting in a covered injury or loss of life happens at work or away, this AD&D insurance coverage pays you or your beneficiary a cash benefit.
As one of the valuable benefits of AFT membership, the AFT has paid for this coverage for ALL eligible members of the AFT.
Local Paid AFT Occupational Liability Insurance for Members!
As a special benefit provided by The American Federation of Teachers, members are eligible for a $5,000 Group Term Life Insurance policy with no premium payment required for the first 12 months. If you are actively working, you can apply for increased coverage limits with no Statement of Health required for the first 12 months of employment.
This special benefit of Group Term Life is provided by The American Federation of Teachers for one year as an enhancement of your AFT membership.
All you need to do is complete, sign, date, and return the application form to the AFT+ Insurance Programs for coverage to become effective. The term life coverage will have an effective date on the first day of the month following the date the application is signed and received by the administrator.
