About New York Life Insurance Company.

Rating Agencies Disclaimer

This depends on a number of factors including: the disability benefits that you may receive from your employer, the amount of private disability income insurance you may have in force, plus the household income that will continue during your disability.

AMS members under age 65 who are at FULL-TIME WORK (as defined in the brochure) are eligible to request coverage, provided their gross annual income is at least $20,000.00. (Student members are not eligible unless working full-time.)

This coverage is available to residents of the United States (except LA, MT, NH, OR, SD, VT, WA and territories) and Puerto Rico.

Career Plan
If you are Totally Disabled before age 63, benefits are payable up to age 65. There is a two-year maximum benefit for Total Disabilities starting at ages 63 through 69.

Five-Year Plan
Benefits are payable for up to five years for Total Disabilities commencing prior to age 60. For Total Disabilities starting at ages 60 through 62, benefits may continue up to age 65. For Total Disabilities starting at ages 63 through 69, benefits may continue for up to two years.

You have a choice of four waiting periods before benefit payments begin: 60, 90, 180 or 365 days. A waiting period is the number of consecutive days you must be Totally Disabled before benefit payments begin. You should choose one that will provide benefits when your employer-provided salary continuation plan runs out. Coverage with a longer waiting period is less expensive.

You have a wide choice of Monthly Benefit Options, from $110.00 to $7,700.00 (in $110.00 units). However, members age 60 through 64 may not request a Monthly Benefit Option in excess of $1,650.00. The Principal option you choose, together with any other disability income insurance you may have, cannot exceed 60% of your AVERAGE MONTHLY INCOME (as defined in the Brochure).

"Totally Disabled" means you are prevented by illness or injury from performing the material and substantial duties of your usual occupation, provided you are not otherwise working for pay or profit.

Issuance of this coverage is handled over the Internet and the mail. You can review the materials in the privacy of your home and purchase your coverage directly through the mail without meeting with a salesman. You can, of course, talk to a licensed representative if you'd like. Please view the Contact Us section for the Programs Administrator's toll-free number.

You will become insured on the date specified by New York Life Insurance Company provided the first premium contribution has been paid, satisfactory evidence of insurability has been submitted, and you are actively performing the normal activities of a person in good health of like age on that date. If you are not performing your normal activities as required, coverage will not become effective until the day you are performing such normal activities provided such date is within three months of the date insurance would have been effective and you are still eligible for insurance.

Note: For Residents of NC: Any references to the performance of normal activities by a person in good health of like age are replaced by the requirement that your health status remains the same as stated on your application.

Payment of a premium contribution for insurance does not mean there is any coverage in force before the effective date specified by New York Life Insurance Company.

Note: There are instances where New York Life Insurance Company may be able to offer insurance, at the same cost, by eliminating coverage for a specific impairment or disease.

Once coverage is validly in force, it may be continued to the premium due date on or immediately after you reach age 70, unless: the maximum benefit period has been reached, you cease FULL-TIME WORK (as defined in the brochure) other than for reasons of disability, you cease to be a AMS member, AMS ceases to be a participating organization, you fail to pay premium contributions when due, you enter full-time active duty in the armed forces (coverage may be restored upon termination of active duty status, subject to policy guidelines) or the group plan is modified or terminated by the policyholder or New York Life Insurance Company to end insurance on the group of insureds to which you belong.

Yes. Please refer to the Insurance Application and Brochure for more information.

When you become insured, you will be sent a Certificate of Insurance summarizing your benefits under the Plan. If you are not completely satisfied with the terms of your Certificate of Insurance, you may return it, without claim, within 30 days. Your coverage will be invalidated and you will be sent a full refund—no questions asked!
