Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D)
Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance provides important financial protection for you and your loved ones. In the event of your death or a covered accidental injury, your beneficiary(ies) will receive a lump-sum benefit to help cover expenses and provide peace of mind. Neighborly offers Basic Life and AD&D coverage at no cost to you, with options to purchase additional coverage for yourself and your dependents.
How Basic Life Insurance and AD&D Coverage Work

Basic Life and AD&D insurance is provided for you automatically and at no cost to you. The benefit amount is equal to 1x your basic annual earnings, up to a maximum of $300,000, with a minimum benefit of $25,000. This coverage provides cash support for your designated beneficiaries should you be injured in a covered accident or die.

In addition to the basic coverage, you have the option to purchase Voluntary Life and AD&D insurance for yourself, your spouse, and your children. If you elect Voluntary Life and Voluntary AD&D, the benefit amounts must be equal.
