Senior Member Term Life Insurance
Help Fill The Holes In Your Family Safety Net
ACP members have access to physician-exclusive rates and benefits.
Senior Member Term Life Insurance
Underwritten by New York Life Company
Senior Member Term Life Insurance was setup to help reinforce your family's financial cushion--at a time when too many plans are starting to cut back on benefits or eliminating coverage all together.
An Easy Way To Add Extra Life Coverage
Member-only rates negotiated on your behalf
The ACP Senior Member Term Life Insurance is offered to eligible ACP members and their lawful spouses. For this reason, we are able to make it available to members in good standing at specially negotiated rates.
A choice of benefit amounts to help suit your specific needs
- The opportunity to bring your current coverage up-to-date.
- Important coverage that helps replace your income and to pay final expenses, including funeral costs, mortgage payoff and outstanding debt.
- Helps protect you even more with three valuable accelerated “living” benefits. One of these living benefits advances a cash benefit payment to you (“accelerated” benefit payment) if you become seriously ill with a qualifying condition.
A Choice of Benefit Amounts to Help Suit Your Specific Needs
If you’re like many ACP members, you may already have some life insurance. But if you haven’t updated it lately, inflation and added responsibilities may mean your family’s financial safety net just isn’t enough.
That’s where the ACP Senior Member Term Life Insurance can help. Senior Term Life gives you an easy option to request $25,000 or $100,000 (multiples of $1,000) in term life benefits to any coverage you may already have.
Eligibility
ACP members between ages 50-74 are eligible to apply for coverage for themselves; and age 45-74 for their lawful spouses. In order to become insured, satisfactory evidence of insurability must be provided and the required premium must be paid. A spouse who is also an eligible member can only become insured as a member. This coverage is available only for residents of the United States (excluding CT, NY and UT) and Puerto Rico.

The premium contributions shown reflect the current rates and benefit structure. Premium contributions may be changed by New York Life Insurance Company on any premium due date, but not more than once in any 12-month period, and on any date on which benefits are changed. However, your rates may change only if they are changed for all others in the same class of insureds under this group policy. For example, a class of insureds is a group of people all with the same issue age and tobacco/nicotine usage. Benefit option amounts are not guaranteed and are subject to change by agreement between New York Life Insurance Company and the ACP Member Insurance Program.
Your Choice of Beneficiary
You may select any person, persons, trust or other legal entity as your beneficiary. If, at the time of your death, there are no surviving beneficiaries, benefits will be paid to the executor or administrator of your estate, or at the option of New York Life Insurance Company, to the surviving relatives in the following order of survival: spouse; children equally; parents equally; or brothers and sisters equally.
Important Provisions
Effective Date: Insurance will take effect on the date your application is approved by New York Life Insurance Company provided the initial contribution is paid within 31 days after the date you are billed (send no money now) and any person to be insured is actively performing the normal activities of a person in good health of like age. Note: Residents of NC: Any reference to “performing the normal activities of a person in good health” is replaced by the requirement that the health status of any proposed insured person remains the same as stated in your application. 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.
Termination: Your insurance can remain in force until the insured person reaches age 90, provided you remain a member of ACP, you continue to pay premium contributions when due, and the group policy is not terminated by the Trustee or New York Life Insurance Company. Your spouse’s coverage ends when your coverage ends or earlier if he/she is no longer your lawful married spouse or when he/she reaches age 90. Upon your death, coverage for your spouse may continue as described in the Certificate of Insurance.
Conversion Privilege: The plan provides conversion privileges under certain circumstances of involuntary termination as described in the Certificate of Insurance.
Incontestability: The validity of any amount of your insurance that has been in force for two years during your lifetime will not be contested except for insurance eligibility provisions or nonpayment of premium contributions.
ExclusionsBenefits will be paid in the event of death, anywhere in the world regardless of cause, except for suicide, whether sane or insane, within 12 months of the certificate effective date, in which case the only amount payable is a return of premiums paid. The validity of any amount of your life insurance which has been in force for two during an insured’s lifetime will be contested except for insurance eligibility provisions and non-payment of premiums (See limitations applicable to Accelerated Benefits at right). |
If we can provide the coverage you requested, we will inform you as to when such coverage will be effective. Under no circumstances will coverage be effective prior to this date. Payment of a premium contribution with your application does not mean that there is any insurance in force before the effective date as determined by New York Life Insurance Company.
This is a life insurance benefit that also gives you the option to accelerate some of the death benefit in the event that you are certified with a chronic illness or permanent critical condition as described in the certificate.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This coverage is not intended to be a federally tax-qualified long-term care insurance contract under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 7702B. Therefore, the premiums payable do not qualify as long-term care insurance premiums and are not deductible from gross income for federal income tax purposes. A Chronic Illness or Permanent Critical Condition acceleration is subject to the federal per diem limits set forth in IRC Section 7702B. Under this acceleration, New York Life will not pay claimants more than the federal per diem limits. Assuming the amount you receive in the aggregate from all applicable policies does not exceed the federal per diem limits set forth in IRC Section 7702B, the benefits provided by the Chronic Illness or Permanent Critical condition acceleration are intended to be excludable from federal gross income under Section 101 (g) of the IRC.
Receipt of an accelerated death benefit may affect eligibility for Medicaid or other government benefits or entitlements and may have income tax consequences. Accelerating benefits before applying for these programs, or while you are receiving government benefits, may affect your initial or continued eligibility. Clients can contact the appropriate social service agency (e.g., the Medicaid Unit of your local Department of Public Welfare or the Social Security Administration Office) for more information.
