Additional details about the NADA Dealer Life Insurance Plan
Coverage Cannot Be Canceled Due to Age
It’s reassuring to know that you may continue to participate as long as:
- You and the dealership meet the qualifications listed;
- The life insurance program remains in force; and
- Premiums are paid on time.
Accelerated Benefit Option
Should you become terminally ill, you may elect to receive up to 25 percent of your life insurance benefit (not to exceed $25,000) while you are still living. You can use this money for whatever purpose you wish: put it toward your medical bills, or pay off your mortgage for your family, for instance.
To receive a benefit, you must furnish satisfactory proof that your life expectancy is six months or less, including certification by a qualified physician. Prudential may inquire further to verify your eligibility.
You may receive the funds either in one lump sum or six equal monthly payments. The benefits not paid to you under this option will be payable to your beneficiary upon your death, including any unpaid monthly amounts.
Please note: The acceleration of life insurance benefits offered under this certificate is intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (under IRC Section 101 (g)). If the acceleration of life insurance benefits qualifies for such favorable tax treatment, the benefits will be excludable from your income and not subject to federal income taxation. The laws relating to acceleration of life benefits are complex. You are advised to consult with a qualified tax advisor about circumstances under which you could receive acceleration of life insurance benefits excludable from income under federal law.
Special Features
Conversion Benefit
If your coverage terminates, within 31 days of your termination, you may convert your group term coverage to a Prudential individual life policy without a medical examination, provided the dealership remains enrolled in the program.
If the dealership terminates participation in the program, dealers who have been enrolled for at least five years may convert up to $10,000 of their coverage within 31 days. If death occurs during these 31 days, the benefit will be paid whether or not application for an individual policy was made.
When the life insurance reduces, coverage reduces gradually over time—to 75 percent of your coverage at age 65; to 50 percent of your pre-age 65 coverage at age 70; to 35 percent of your pre-age 65 coverage at age 75.
Disability Continuation Benefit
Should you become totally and permanently disabled before age 60, the National Automobile Dealer’s Association Insurance Trust (NADIT) may pay the full cost of your Dealer Life Insurance Program (up to $500,000 in coverage) while you remain totally disabled.
