Automatic FREE Life Insurance through CTA & NEA

CTA Death & Dismemberment (D&D) Plan

The CTA Death and Dismemberment (D&D) Plan is an automatic benefit available to eligible CTA members at no additional cost. If an eligible CTA member dies or suffers a dismemberment (i.e., suffers a loss of limb or other qualifying injury), the member or her/his beneficiary(ies) will receive a lump-sum cash payment. 

Provided by the CTA Economic Benefits Trust:

• A Death Benefit of $2,000

• An Accidental Death and Accidental Dismemberment Benefit of $10,000

• A $50,000 Benefit if the member dies or suffers a dismemberment due to an accident or assault while engaged in any activity which was in the expressed or implied terms of his or her occupation, or while acting in the capacity of an Association Leader  

Although no enrollment is required for eligible members to receive coverage under the CTA D&D Plan, eligible CTA members should designate (a) beneficiary(ies). If there is no named beneficiary(ies) or the beneficiary(ies) dies before the member, benefits will be paid in the following preference order:

• Spouse/Domestic Partner

• Children

• Parents

• Brothers and sisters

• Executor or administrator
