Benefits

RATES STAY THE SAME FOR A FULL 10 YEARS

There’s no need to budget for annual rate increases for your added insurance coverage. The exclusive member only rates for this new CSEA life insurance lock in for the first 10 years of your coverage.

BENEFITS STAY THE SAME FOR A FULL 10 YEARS

You can also rest assured that the coverage you set up now will be the same level of coverage available for your loved ones 10 years from now. Your benefits will not cut back just because you get older or retire.

ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT

This valuable feature allows you to collect half of your benefit amount up to $250,000 at a time when you’ll need it most. If you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness and given a life expectancy of 12 months or less, you can access your cash benefits to use any way you see fit.

This added cash can be used to help pay medical bills … or to cover household expenses so a family member can stop working to care for you. The remainder of your benefit will then be paid to your beneficiary.

Please note that the receipt of Accelerated Death Benefits may affect your eligibility for public assistance programs and may be taxable. Prior to applying to receive such benefits, you should consult with the appropriate social services agency and seek the advice of a qualified tax advisor.

FAQs

WHY GROUP 10-YEAR LEVEL TERM LIFE?

Many families are looking for long-term financial security they can depend on. This plan allows members and their spouses to lock in member exclusive rates and benefit amounts for 10 years. This makes it easy to fit within your busy lifestyles, as well as budget from year to year with the guarantee of no rate increases.

CSEA members who are under age 65, U.S residents, actively employed working at least 20 hours per week (excluding Retired Members) can apply for coverage. Evidence of Insurability is required.

Retired CSEA members are still eligible for coverage provided they are under the age of 65, and remain a Retired CSEA member. Evidence of Insurability is required.

You must not be on active duty with the military.

Members are eligible for a minimum coverage amount of $100,000 and can increase in increments of $10,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $1,000,000 or 10 times your yearly salary.

As a CSEA member, you’ll never have to worry about paying your premiums on time. That’s because your premiums are paid through the convenience of payroll deduction*. If you are retired, your premiums will be deducted from CalPERS.

After your application is approved, coverage will start the first day of the month following the first payment, if you are performing the normal activities on that date. If not, coverage starts the day you return to work.

Example: If your application is approved on May 5, and your first premium is deducted from your June 1 pay warrant, then coverage will start on June 1 if you are at work on that date.

When you truly retire, you can continue your life insurance if; you receive monthly California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) benefits from which premiums may be deducted; you continue your CSEA membership; and you send in an application requesting benefits to be continued into retirement before your retirement date and continue premium payments thereafter.

Yes. You may be eligible to apply for up to a million dollars of life insurance coverage. CSEA offers additional Group TermPLUS Life and Group Whole Life insurance plans.

Terms

Effective Date of Coverage

Your CSEA Group 10 Year Level Life benefits can begin following approval from New York Life.

However, if you are not actively working due to a non-working day, you will still become insured on the scheduled effective date provided you would have been able to do your regular job on that non-working day.

When Coverage Ends

Providing your premium is paid, you remain a CSEA member and the Group Policy remains in effect your guaranteed premium term will be for a term of 10 Years.

After your guaranteed term ends you can continue your coverage to age 90 using the non-guaranteed rates. There are other options available. Your administrator will instruct you prior to your term ending regarding your choices.

Disclosure to Third Parties

This website does not sell or rent any of your personal information to affiliates or unaffiliated third parties. We will not share any of your personal information with third parties except in the circumstances described below or with your permission.

 We disclose personal information with third parties or affiliates that we in good faith believe are appropriate to enable them to provide services to you and to contact you regarding additional products and/or services that you have expressed an interest.

 Cooperation in investigations of suspected fraud or other illegal activity, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or to conduct investigations of violations of the -site’s Terms of Use or the Terms of Service Agreement, or as otherwise required by law. This may also include protecting and defending the rights, property, or safety of AGIA, other users of this Site or responding to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties.

 We disclose information to your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that you grant, or a guardian appointed for you).

 As with any other business, it is possible that in the future we could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to personal information maintained by us, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended.

 As otherwise permitted by federal or state law.

Do Not Track

 Some internet browsers offer the user a “Do Not Track” technology.  The Do Not Track (DNT) header is the HTTP header field DNT that requests that a web application disable either its tracking or cross-site user tracking of an individual user.  At the current time, this Site does not have the capability of recognizing a “Do Not Track” request.

You only receive e-mail from us if you check a box indicating an interest in a particular e-list or if you provide an e-mail address for a customer service inquiry and need an answer via e-mail. We collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail and online forms, including those who specifically check a box to subscribe on our online forms (for example, request for information on this website). Any user who signs up for e-mails can unsubscribe or manage his/her subscription by linking to the personal URL e-mailed to all subscribers.

The CCPA and CPRA requires that we provide privacy information to California residents and we use this separate section to ensure compliance with the CCPA and CPRA requirements. This section applies solely to natural persons residing in California (“Consumers”), and does not apply to individuals living elsewhere, businesses or other corporate entities.

Your Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act

Right to Confirm or Access Information

  You may have the right to confirm whether we process certain information or what information we process, and to obtain a copy of that information in a format that allows you to transmit the information to another business without difficulty.

  Once we receive and confirm your identity and verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you the following at your direction (with various exceptions):

a)  The categories of personal information we collected about you in the last 12 months;

b)  The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you in the last 12 months;

Right to Delete Personal Information

  You have the right to request that AGIA delete any of your personal information we collected from you and retained, with certain exceptions. You will need to submit a valid and verifiable request so AGIA can confirm your identity and/or authorization to make such a request. AGIA will determine if retaining the information is permitted or required under the law. If no retention conditions apply, we will delete your personal information from our records and direct any Service Providers to do the same.

Right to Correct Personal Information

  Taking into consideration the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of your personal information, you may have the right to correct inaccuracies in such information. Upon submission to AGIA of a valid and verifiable request where your identity and authorization can be confirmed, AGIA will use all reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate information.

Right to Limit Processing of Sensitive Personal Information

  AGIA processes sensitive personal information only as necessary in performance of our services to ensure the security and integrity of your information or as otherwise specified under regulation. Because AGIA does not process your sensitive personal information for other purposes, there is not a mechanism for you to limit the processing of this information.

Right to Opt-Out of Profiling

  AGIA does not engage in automated processing of personal information to make decisions that yield legal or other material consequence. Because we do not engage in this processing, AGIA does not provide a mechanism for you to limit our processing of personal information in this manner.

Right to Opt-Out

  AGIA does not sell your personal information; therefore we do not provide a mechanism for you to limit our processing of personal information in such a manner.

Right to Non-Discrimination

  AGIA will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA or CPRA. Examples of discrimination could be charging you inflated rates by imposing penalties or granting discounts or other benefits, denying you goods or services or providing you a different level of quality of goods or services.

  Any acts of discrimination are prohibited by the CCPA and CPRA and AGIA will not engage in them.

Personal Information We Collect, Sources and How We Use It

  In our Privacy Policy, sections titled, “Personal Information We Collect”, “How We Use Your Personal Information”, and “AGIA Personal Information Processing” outline the personal information we collect, its sources and how we use it for all consumers we interact with, including California residents. In effect, it is used to provide and manage products and services we provide and support our everyday operations, including risk management, legal and compliance requirements.

Exercising Your Rights as a California Consumer

  You, or a person authorized by you to act on your behalf, or an entity registered with the California Secretary of State and authorized by you to act on your behalf, can make a request regarding your personal information under the CCPA and CPRA.
