Accelerated Death Benefits
A life insurance policy option that provides policy proceeds to insured individuals over their lifetimes, in the event of a terminal illness. This is in lieu of a traditional policy that pays beneficiaries after the insuredÂ’s death. Such benefits kick in if the insured becomes terminally ill, needs extreme medical intervention, or must reside in a nursing home. The payments made while the insured is living are deducted from any death benefits paid to beneficiaries.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment
Policy or provision in a Disability Income policy that pays a specified amount or a multiple of the weekly disability benefit should the insured die, lose his/her sight, or lose two limbs as the result of an accident. Lesser amount is payable for the loss of one eye, arm, leg, hand, or foot.
Affinity Sales
Selling insurance through groups such as professional and business associations.
Aggregate Limit
Usually refers to Liability Insurance and indicates the amount of coverage that the insured has under the contract for a specific period of time, usually the contract period, no matter how many separate accidents may occur.
Beneficiary
An individual, institution, trustee, or estate which receives, or may become eligible to receive, benefits under a will, insurance policy, retirement plan, annuity, trust, or other contract.
