Group Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D)
MetLife’s Group AD&D coverage can be a low cost part of company provided basic coverage, an employee paid option, or both
Employees are looking for benefits that go beyond life insurance. MetLife’s AD&D coverage pays for a covered accident that results in a loss of life, speech, hearing or sight, paralysis and other losses.
Basic AD&D is employer-paid coverage that provides an accidental death benefit equal to an employee's basic term life insurance amount. Basic AD&D also provides a percentage of the basic accidental death benefit amount for qualifying injuries.
Supplemental AD&D is employee-paid coverage that offers employees the same benefit amount as their Supplemental Term Life. A specified percentage of supplemental accidental death benefit is also provided for qualifying injuries.
Dependent AD&D is an employee-paid coverage that provides spouses and dependents with a benefit equal to the Dependent Term Life benefit amount.
Voluntary AD&D is an employee-paid benefit that is offered as a stand alone coverage to employees, spouses and dependent children, regardless of whether they are enrolled in life insurance.
