How Benefits Are Paid
If you are eligible for benefits from the Plan, you or your beneficiary will receive a lump sum check.
Who will receive the benefit check?
If you suffer dismemberment, you will receive the benefit check directly.
If you die, your designated beneficiary will receive the benefit check.
What is considered salary for determining the amount of my Business Travel Accident Insurance benefit?
Salary for the purpose of this Plan is your annual base salary (excluding overtime, bonuses, commissions, and other extra compensation).
If my salary changes, what happens to my Business Travel Accident Insurance benefit?
Your Business Travel Accident Insurance benefit is based on your salary and will change when your salary changes (but the benefit will be limited to the maximum coverage level).
Will my benefits be reduced as I get older?
Your benefits, and if applicable, the benefit of your family members approved to travel with you, will be reduced from the principal sum for the Business Travel Accident Insurance Plan according to your age on the date of the accident as follows:
  • age 69 or younger, your benefit is 100%
  • age 70 to 74, your benefit reduces to 65%
  • age 75 to 79, your benefit reduces to 45%
  • age 80 to 84, your benefit reduces to 30%
  • age 85 or above, your benefit reduces to 15%
This reduction in benefit takes into consideration the increased cost in providing coverage at and after age 70.
How are benefits paid if I am located outside of the U.S. or Canada, not classified on payroll as a U.S. or Canadian employee?
For employees located outside the U.S. and Canada who are not classified on U.S. or Canadian payroll, benefits under this plan shall be reduced by any benefits paid under a local Travel Accident Program for the same accident.
