New offering from NYSUT Member Benefits

The Trustees of the NYSUT Member Benefits Trust announced the launch of a Universal Life Insurance with Convalescent Care Benefit (plus YourCare360® Care Planning Services). This innovative universal life insurance product — provided by Trustmark — will offer added financial protection for NYSUT members and their spouses/certified domestic partners along with access to long-term care resources. Set to launch in May 2023, this program will combine convalescent care benefits that can be used to help pay for long-term care services at any age; a life insurance benefit to help secure your family’s financial future; and caregiving tools provided by YourCare360® offering guidance to manage your long-term care needs.

During a special limited time offer from May 1 through June 16, 2023, in-service members ages 18–64 can enroll for $50,000 of life insurance with a Convalescent Care benefit that is guaranteed issue (i.e., no health questions are asked) and up to $300,000 by answering a few medical questions. Retired members up to age 70 may also elect coverage by answering some medical questions. In addition, in-service members can purchase coverage for their qualifying spouse/certified domestic partner along with their children by answering a few medical questions.

Stay tuned to memberbenefits.nysut.org in the coming months for more details about this new offering.
