The Total Disability benefit will begin to accrue on the day after the Elimination Period ends. The Total Disability benefit will be paid in the amount elected and approved, reduced by other income benefits as described below.
The benefit amount payable as the result of the Insured Person's Total Disability will be the lesser of:
The maximum benefit amount will also be reduced by:
Under these circumstances, the benefit is reduced so that the total income from such sources does not exceed 70% of the Insured Person's Pre-Disability Earnings.
However, if the Insured Person's Monthly Benefit would reduce to less than $50 per Month due to Other Income Benefits, then the minimum Monthly Benefit under The Policy will be $50 per month.
| Insured's monthly predisability earnings | $3,000.00 |
| Long term disability benefits percentage | x 60 % |
| Unreduced maximum benefit | $1,800.00 |
| Less Social Security disability benefit per month | -$900.00 |
| Less state disability income benefit per month | -$300.00 |
| Total amount of long term disability benefit per month | $600.00 |
This example is for purposes of illustrating the effect of the benefit reductions and is intended to reflect the situation of a particular claimant under the policy.
If you are Totally Disabled due to mental illness, alcoholism or substance abuse, the maximum payment period will be reduced to 2 years during your lifetime, unless you are confined in a hospital or other institution.
The policy will not pay an increased Benefit for any loss or period of Total Disability which: 1) begins during the first 24 months following the date you make a change in coverage that increases your benefits; and 2) is a result of a Pre-existing Condition, unless such Total Disability begins or you have been free of medical care for the condition for a 12 month period ending any time on or after your effective date of increase.
Successive periods of disability will be considered one period of disability if the periods of disability are due to the same or related medical causes; and separated by less than 6 months during which You are Actively at Work.
CONCURRENT DISABILITY: Benefits during any Period of Disability as the result of:
will be considered the same as if the disability resulted from only one cause.
The Policy does not cover any Disability or loss caused by:
Your coverage and Your Spouse's coverage will end on the earliest of:
All active, dues paying members of NAIFA and their spouses who:
When a member and spouse are both eligible members, coverage may not be duplicated by applying as dependents of each other.

Any exams/tests requested by the Company will be conducted at your own convenience and at no expense to you. (This does not apply to the guaranteed issue offer.)

ELIMINATION PERIOD means the number of consecutive days at the beginning of any one period of Total Disability which must elapse before benefits are payable.

This average is based on net income for:
whichever produces the higher average, before the determination is made. If You have been self-employed for less than 12 months, it is based on the whole time You were self-employed.
If Your practice is incorporated, net income includes the cost to Your company of fringe benefits and Your share of total surplus. Income does not include investment returns, rents, royalties, and the like income which is not directly produced from Your current work.
Pre-disability Earnings means, if You are not self-employed, Your regular monthly rate of pay, includes Commissions, but not bonuses, tips and tokens, overtime pay or any other fringe benefits or extra compensation, in effect on the date immediately prior to the last day You were Actively at Work before You became Disabled.

This website explains the general purpose of the insurance described, but in no way changes or affects the policy as actually issued. In the event of a discrepancy between this brochure and the policy, the terms of the policy apply. All benefits are subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. Policies underwritten by Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company detail exclusions, limitations, and terms under which the policies may be continued in force or discontinued. Complete details are in the Certificate of Insurance issued to each insured individual and the Master Policy issued to the policyholder, NAIFA Group Insurance Trust. This program may vary and may not be available to residents of all states.
Once you receive your certificate of insurance, if you’re not 100% satisfied within the first 30 days, we’ll send you a full refund of any premiums paid during that period and your certificate will be considered never issued. You will be under no further obligation.
Kelsey National Corporation is the Plan Administrator and insurance broker that administers the insurance plan on behalf of the Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company for the benefit of the Group Policyholder. Kelsey National Corporation is compensated for the placement of insurance and for the services it provides to customers on behalf of the insurance company, in addition to other compensation it may receive.
