About New York Life Insurance Company


How much life insurance do I need?

Some insurance experts suggest that you purchase life insurance equal to five to nine times your current income. In addition, you should consider how much your dependents will need to maintain their lifestyle.


Who is eligible for this insurance?

ASCE members and their lawful spouses under age 65 may apply. Also, all unmarried dependent children ages 14 days through 22 years (24 if a full-time student). In order to become insured, satisfactory evidence of insurability must be provided and the required premium must be paid.

A dependent who is also an ASCE member is eligible for either member or dependent coverage, but not both. If both member and spouse are covered as members, neither may insure the other as spouse and only one may insure any eligible children.


How much insurance can I request?

  • Members—$100,000 to $2,000,000 in $10,000 multiples.
  • Spouse—$100,000 to $2,000,000 in $10,000 multiples, not to exceed 100% of member's coverage.
  • Child(ren)—$10,000 per child.


  • Note: The total amount of coverage an individual may request under all group life insurance plans underwritten by New York Life Insurance Company may not exceed $2,000,000.


    Are any discounts available?

    Two discounts may be available:
    • Volume Discount If you or your spouse becomes insured for coverage amounts of $250,000 through $490,000, you'll receive a volume discount; and for amounts of $500,000 through $2,000,000 of coverage, you'll receive an even bigger discount.
    • You May Pay Less If You're a Qualified Nonsmoker Nonsmokers meeting the highest underwriting standards may qualify for the "Preferred" (the Plan's best) rates. Other nonsmokers may qualify for "Select" (higher, but still very competitive) or "Standard" (the Plan's highest) rates.



    Are there any exclusions?

    No. Benefits are paid for death from any cause, at any time, anywhere in the world (Subject to U.S. government regulations on restricted countries.) The validity of any amount of your life insurance which has been in force for two years during an insured's lifetime will not be contested except for insurance eligibility provisions and non-payment of premium contributions.


    How does the Accelerated Death Benefit work?

    The "Accelerated Death Benefit" option is available to help terminally ill insureds during a difficult, and often financially challenging time. Under this provision you may request one advance payment equal to 50 percent of your (or an insured dependent's) in force life insurance to be paid while the terminally ill person is still alive. The request must be made at least 12 months prior to the insured person's scheduled coverage termination age and the amount of insurance payable after the insured's death will be reduced by this payment. (Premium contributions will not be reduced.)

    This money can be used to help cover high prescription drug costs ... medical bills ... outstanding debts ... to help pay for experimental treatments .. the cost of modifications to your home ... or for a family vacation—the choice is yours.

    To qualify, a terminally ill insured must provide New York Life Insurance Company with proof of terminal illness and anticipated life expectancy (12 months or less), as well as any other necessary medical information requested. For additional details and limitations, please see the Certificate of Insurance.

    Please note that receipt of Accelerated Death Benefits may affect your eligibility for public assistance programs and may be taxable. Prior to applying to receive such benefits, you should consult with the appropriate social services agency and seek the advice of a qualified tax advisor.

    Note: The Accelerated Death Benefit is not available to residents of Massachusetts.


    When is the coverage effective?

    Insurance will take effect on the date your application is approved by New York Life Insurance Company, provided the initial premium contribution is paid within 31 days after the date you are billed (send no money now) and any person to be insured is performing the normal activities of a person in good health of like age [NC Residents: a person of like age] on the date of approval

    Any person who is not performing his/her normal daily activities as required will not become insured until the day he/she is performing such activities, provided such date is within three months of the date insurance would have been effective and the person is still eligible.


    When does the coverage end?

    Insurance coverage can remain in force until the insured person reaches age 75 (23 for children, or 25 for children who are in full-time students) provided: (a) you continue to pay premium contributions when due, (b) you remain an ASCE member, (c) the group plan is not terminated or modified by the Policyholder to end insurance for the group of insureds to which you belong, and (d) you do not request to terminate insurance. In addition, dependent child coverage will terminate when the child ceases to be an eligible dependent.


    Who Administers the Program?

    The ASCE Group Insurance Program is administered by Pearl Insurance. Pearl Insurance strives to provide ASCE members with the most relevant, competitively priced member benefit insurance packages for individuals and their families. Pearl Insurance has been providing associations like the ASCE with quality group coverage for nearly 55 years.


    What if I have second thoughts after I apply?

    When you become insured, you will be sent a Certificate of Insurance summarizing you benefits under the Plan. If you are not completely satisfied with the terms of your Certificate of Insurance, you may return it, without claim, within 30 days. Your coverage will be invalidated and you will be sent a full refund—no questions asked!
