Survivor Benefit

If you die while LTD Monthly Benefits are payable, we will pay a Survivor Benefit. The Survivor Benefit will be paid according to the following:

  1. the Survivor Benefit amount shown on the Schedule of Insurance will be paid to your Surviving Spouse;
  2. if you do not have a Surviving Spouse, but do have Surviving Children, we will pay this benefit to your estate;
  3. the Survivor Benefit will not be paid if you do not have a Surviving Spouse or Surviving Children; and
  4. Survivor Benefits, if payable, will first be applied to reduce any claim overpayments.
Surviving Spouse means your legal spouse who meets all requirements for a valid legal marriage in your and your Surviving Spouse's state of residence.

Surviving Children means your natural or adopted children who are:

  1. unmarried; and
  2. under the age of twenty-five (25).
