Generation 3... a whole new way to look at life insurance
First there was term life insurance, then came whole life. Now there's Generation 3... combining the best of both term and whole life insurance. Generation 3 is a combination policy blending whole life, decreasing term, and paid-up additional insurance. It gives you level coverage (the benefit amount doesn't decrease), with premiums designed to remain level for life!

How the Generation 3 Plan Works: You choose the amount of coverage that best meets your needs... from $25,000 to $400,000. Coverage is issued in $1,000 increments. Generation 3 offers you the best of both worlds - the lower premiums of a term policy and the security of a whole life plan. The exact combination of whole life coverage and decreasing term protection is based on your age on the date insurance becomes effective. Typically, the coverage begins with 4% to 5% whole life coverage and 95% to 96% decreasing term coverage.

Premiums are also based on your attained age at entry into the plan and are expected to remain level as long as your coverage stays in effect. You cannot be singled out for a rate increase; your premiums may be increased only if they are increased for all insureds under the Group Policy.

Once issued, your total coverage amount remains level so long as your premiums are paid. Dividends as may be declared are used to purchase paid-up Whole Life additions. The Term portion of your coverage decreases as these Whole Life additions accumulate. Should no dividend emerge in any plan year, the amount of decreasing term coverage remains the same.

Check around and compare the cost. Right now, our Generation 3 Plan can give you the advantages of permanent lifetime protection at a fraction of the cost of a traditional whole life policy. And later, when you're older, the cost can be substantially less than term coverage.

Guaranteed Renewability
The Generation 3 coverage is guaranteed renewable. Neither New York Life nor USBA has the right to cancel the plan. This means that you may continue your coverage regardless of your age so long as you pay the premiums when due.

Cash Value & Loans
The whole life portion of your Generation 3 coverage accumulates a small cash value which you may borrow against. Complete cash value tables are provided in your Certificate. For information on loans, please contact USBA at 1-800-368-7021.

Minimum/Maximum Coverage
Request a minimum of $25,000 up to a maximum of $400,000 of Generation 3 coverage. The overall maximum amount of coverage available under all USBA Group Life Plans is $650,000.

Individual Certificate
This section outlines the principal provisions of the USBA Generation 3 Plan. Complete details are in Group Policy G-10649 (Policy Form GMR) delivered to USBA at its headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas, by New York Life. Each Member receives a certificate which summarizes policy provisions affecting his or her insurance.

Continuation of Coverage
This is permanent insurance. Neither USBA nor New York Life can ever cancel your coverage as long as you continue paying your premiums in a timely manner.

No War Clause
The USBA Generation 3 Plan will pay benefits for death resulting from combat or any other cause.

POW/MIA Protection
If the D.O.D. lists you as a prisoner of war or as missing in action, USBA will pay premiums for all your USBA- sponsored Group Life Insurance in effect at that time. USBA will continue to pay these premiums on your behalf as long as your POW/MIA status continues or until your coverage would otherwise end.

Military Flyers
Military flyers are fully covered at the same rate as non-flyers.

$15,000 Emergency Death Benefit
If your spouse is the beneficiary of your policy (and all other qualifications have been met), an emergency payment of 50% of the death benefit up to $15,000 may be paid upon phone notification of your death.

Coverage you can keep
USBA's Generation 3 Plan may be continued after retirement or military separation. And there's no increase in premium or decrease in coverage, just because you retire or separate. Veterans and Federal employees also qualify for USBA coverage.

30-Day Unconditional Promise
Once your application is approved, you'll be issued a Certificate of Insurance. If you are not completely satisfied with the provisions of your Certificate, you can return it within 30 days for a prompt, full refund.

The Company Behind the Plan
This plan is underwritten by New York Life Insurance Co... one of the oldest and largest life insurance companies in America.

USBA Children's Coverage is low-cost term insurance designed to protect your eligible children (unmarried children age 14 days through 22 years) who are not eligible for USBA Membership. Stepchildren must be dependent on the member for over 50% of their support. If both parents are insured with USBA coverage, only one parent may request Children's Coverage.

Each $25,000 of USBA GEN 3 coverage which you request allows you to apply for one unit of Children's Coverage. The maximum is four units.

The monthly premium is just $1.50 per unit--and each unit covers all of your eligible children. In other words, the number of units determines only the amount of insurance on each child--not the number of children insured. And, the older your kids get, the more protection USBA Children's Coverage provides.

Children's coverage can continue as long as premiums are paid when due, you continue to be insured under a USBA-sponsored Group Life Plan, and the children remain eligible.

Each Unit Insures All Eligible Dependent Children By Age

Optional AD&D Coverage

You can add $40,000 of Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) to your USBA-sponsored Group Life coverage for $2.00 per month. This optional coverage is available to Members, Spouses and Associate Members. (Children must be age 18-22 to qualify for Associate Membership.)

AD&D Benefit
The full coverage amount--$40,000--is payable for accidental loss of life, the loss of both hands or feet, the sight of both eyes, or any two of the preceding. Half the coverage amount--$20,000--is payable for the loss of one hand or foot or the sight of one eye.

The loss must be the direct result of a covered accident that occurs while coverage is in force and within 90 days of the accident. Loss of a hand or foot means severance at or above the wrist or ankle. Loss of sight means its total and permanent loss. No more than $40,000 will be paid for all losses from any one accident.

AD&D coverage ends on the June 1st following the insured's 66th birthday or earlier if the insured ceases to be insured under a USBA-sponsored Group Life Plan.

Exclusions
AD&D benefits are not provided for losses due to air travel, unless the insured is riding solely as a passenger. Other exclusions include losses due to war; insurrection; riot; terrorist activity; commission of a felony or assault; illegal use of drugs, hallucinogens, etc.; use of alcohol; sickness or disease or its medical or surgical treatment; intentionally self-inflicted injuries; or suicide. AD&D benefits may not be denied due to suicide if insane, unless it can be shown that the insured intended to commit suicide at the time coverage was requested.

At this price, how can USBA offer the advantages of both Term and Whole Life without the disadvantages of either type of insurance?
Generation 3 is blended life coverage. It combines traditional Whole Life insurance and Decreasing Term insurance. As a result, you get a guaranteed death benefit and premiums designed to stay level-—for life. And because of the Decreasing Term portion, you can have this protection at a fraction of the cost of traditional Whole Life coverage.

If Decreasing Term is part of the combination, won’t the amount of protection I have now decrease as I grow older?
No. Dividends, as declared, are used to purchase paid-up Whole Life additions. The Term portion of your coverage decreases as paid-up additions accumulate. If no dividend is declared in any plan year, your term portion stays level.

If traditional Whole Life is the other part of the combination, will I accumulate cash value with this plan?
Yes. As you keep your coverage, it will begin to accumulate a small cash value. In time, you can even make loans against the cash value of Generation 3, should the need arise.

If rates aren’t guaranteed, can’t USBA increase my premiums when I grow older or if I become an increased risk due to poor health?
You can never be singled out for a rate increase. Your premiums can increase only if the entire group’s premiums increase. USBA, since its start in 1959, has never increased premium rates for existing business and has actually lowered premiums several times!

Are premiums higher or levels of protection less if I’m a military or commercial flyer?
No. You’ll receive the same level of coverage at the same low cost as non-flyers. You won’t have to buy additional riders or accept a reduced death benefit.

Can USBA or New York Life ever cancel my coverage because of age or poor health?
No. Neither USBA nor New York Life can ever cancel your coverage as long as you continue to pay your premiums in a timely manner.

How much coverage is available?
You may choose any amount of coverage between $25,000 and $400,000, in $1,000 increments. (Please note: No member may carry more than $650,000 in all USBA coverage combined.)
