LONG TERM DISABILITY OTHER BENEFIT FEATURES WHAT BENEFITS WILL BE PROVIDED TO YOUR FAMILY IF YOU DIE? (Survivor Benefit) When Unum receives proof that you have died, we will pay your eligible survivor a lump sum benefit equal to 3 months of your gross disability payment if, on the date of your death: - your disability had continued for 180 or more consecutive days; and - you were receiving or were entitled to receive payments under the plan. If you have no eligible survivors, payment will be made to your estate, unless there is none. In this case, no payment will be made. However, we will first apply the survivor benefit to any overpayment which may exist on your claim. WHAT IF YOU ARE NOT IN ACTIVE EMPLOYMENT WHEN YOUR EMPLOYER CHANGES INSURANCE CARRIERS TO UNUM? (Continuity of Coverage) When the plan becomes effective, Unum will provide coverage for you if: - you are not in active employment because of a sickness or injury; and - you were covered by the prior policy. Your coverage is subject to payment of premium. Your payment will be limited to the amount that would have been paid by the prior carrier. Unum will reduce your payment by any amount for which your prior carrier is liable. WHAT IF YOU HAVE A DISABILITY DUE TO A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION WHEN YOUR EMPLOYER CHANGES INSURANCE CARRIERS TO UNUM? (Continuity of Coverage) Unum may send a payment if your disability results from a pre-existing condition if, you were: - in active employment and insured under the plan on its effective date; and - insured by the prior policy at the time of change. In order to receive a payment you must satisfy the pre-existing condition provision under: 1. the Unum plan; or 2. the prior carrier's plan, if benefits would have been paid had that policy remained in force. If you do not satisfy Item 1 or 2 above, Unum will not make any payments.
