Travel Accident Insurance member coverage 

The Union Plus Travel Accident Insurance Plan efficiently delivers generous benefits for only pennies a day. How is this possible? Because Union Plus avoided expensive "extras" that most people never need. The result is a streamlined program that stands by your family with cash benefits when they need them most. 

Your coverage includes: 

  • An ACCIDENTAL DEATH BENEFIT will be paid if you or your covered dependents sustain an injury that results in death within 365 days of the date of the covered accident. 
  • An OUTPATIENT BENEFIT will be paid when a covered person's injuries from a covered accident require treatment in the outpatient unit of a hospital within 24 hours of the date of the accident. This benefit will be paid up to 2 times a year. 
  • An ACCIDENT HOSPITAL INCOME BENEFIT will be paid to you or anyone you choose if you or your covered dependents are confined in a hospital and the injury is due to a covered accident. You will receive this benefit for each day you are in the hospital. This benefit is payable for up to 365 days of hospitalization. The confinement must start within 90 days from the date of the covered accident. 
  • Also included is a RECUPERATION BENEFIT that will pay you or anyone you choose while you or your covered dependents recuperate at home. This important benefit will pay for the same number of days that you or your covered dependent were confined in a hospital under the Hospital Income Benefit.

Medicare Replacement Notice
(Please read and print for your records) 

Acceptance is guaranteed 

There is no physical examination to take or health questions to answer. As a union member, at least age 18, residing in the U.S., you cannot be turned down for this plan - regardless of your health, occupation, or the number of miles you travel annually. 

You cannot be singled out for cancellation or a rate increase, regardless of the number of claims you make, your age, or changes in your health. 

Accidents are unpredictable, so request your Union Plus Travel Accident Plan protection today. Your coverage goes into effect on the first of the month following receipt of the enrollment form and your first semi-annual payment. Once activated, coverage is effective as long as the Master Policy remains in force and you pay your premium when due. 

Termination 

Your coverage can not be cancelled by us as long as you remain a U.S. resident, pay your premium when due and the Master Policy remains in force. Dependent coverage terminates the date the policy is terminated; and the premium due date on or next following the date that your dependent no longer meets the definition of dependent child; your spouse no longer meets definition of spouse; or the required premium is not paid, subject to the Individual Grace Period; or the date your coverage terminates. 

ELIGIBILITY AND FAMILY COVERAGE 

All union members that are at least 18 years old and citizens or legal residents of the U.S. are eligible for coverage. Your Spouse/Domestic Partner can also be covered under this policy as long as he or she is at least 18 years old, a citizen or legal resident of the U.S., and not legally separated or divorced from you. Your dependent children must be at least 15 days old but under 22 (under 26 if in full-time attendance at an accredited institution of learning). When both Spouse/Domestic Partners are eligible members, each may apply as ‘member’; however, coverage may not be duplicated by applying as dependents of the other. Children can only be covered by one Spouse/Domestic Partner.

When you choose family coverage, your spouse/domestic partner is covered for 50% of the amount of your coverage if there are eligible children also covered; or 60% if you have no covered eligible children. In addition each child has 20% of the amount of your coverage if you have a spouse/domestic partner, or 40% if there is not a spouse/domestic partner covered.
