Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance Benefit
Members who are under the age of 60 at the time they join APPA as part of their membership benefits are provided with $10,000 of accidental death and dismemberment insurance protection.
As a member you may also apply for additional AD&D up to $500,000!
Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) may help provide financial security should a sudden, covered accident take your life or cause you serious loss or harm. It may help your family meet long-term financial needs – household expenses, childcare, saving for college and retirement – if a wage earner dies from a covered accident or is recovering from a sudden, covered accident.
APPA Optional AD&D from MetLife is not only competitively priced,1 but in addition to your existing life insurance coverage, it can provide a cost-effective way to obtain additional protection for your family and finances should the unexpected happen.

What is AD&D?
A. Extra protection that may help provide financial security should a sudden covered accident take your life or cause you serious harm. It compliments your life insurance coverage, providing protection 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
What does AD&D cover?2
A. AD&D insurance may pay a benefit if you have a covered accident that results in the loss of limb, speech, hearing or sight, or paralysis. If you suffer a fatal covered accident, benefits are payable to your beneficiary. (Please see your Plan Summary for details.)
What level of coverage is right for you?
A. To determine the level of coverage that's right for you, ask yourself if your family would be able to maintain its standard of living without your wages. How well could you or your family deal financially with a family member's accidental injury or death?
The amount of AD&D coverage you select is called the “full amount” and is equal to the benefit payable for the loss of life. Benefits for other losses are payable as a predetermined percentage of the full amount based on your employer's plan. Dependent spouse/domestic partner and child(ren) coverage may also be available.
Please see your Plan Summary for details.
