Life and AD&D Insurance
Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Benefits

AD&D coverage pays benefits to either your beneficiary for the loss of your life or to you for the loss of your sight, hand, foot, hearing or speech as the result of an accident. AD&D benefits are in addition to your life insurance through the School District. Benefits are paid only if you are insured at the time of the loss, the loss is within 365 days of the accident that caused it, and the loss results directly from the accident and from no other cause.

The following table shows the AD&D benefit amounts for each specific type of loss:

Type of Loss Amount of Benefit* Benefit Recipient
Life 100% of your life insurance benefit Your beneficiary
Both hands, both feet, or sight in both eyes 100% of your life insurance benefit You
Both hearing and speech 100% of your life insurance benefit You
Hearing or speech 50% of your life insurance benefit You
One hand, one foot, or sight in one eye 50% of your life insurance benefit You
Thumb and index finger of the same hand 25% of your life insurance benefit You

*The maximum AD&D benefit payable for all losses resulting from a single accident is the full amount of your life insurance benefit depending on your age at the time of loss.
