OOIDA Group Life Insurance Plan

This is a term life insurance plan issued by Principal Life Insurance Company. Rates are based on age and the amount of coverage requested. Members, including eligible spouses or domestic partners, can apply for $10,000 to $500,000 worth of coverage, in increments of $10,000. Spouses or domestic partners who are not eligible members can apply for up to 100% of the amount the primary member has in force in increments of $5,000 (not to exceed $250,000). We also offer a Basic Dependents Term Life coverage ($10,000 for spouse or domestic partner and $5,000 for children) for $4.75 a month. This option is for a spouse not involved in the trucking industry, and eligible dependent children. Dependent children are covered from 14 days up to age 19 (or 25 if a full-time student).

Please Note: Dependent Life coverages are only available if the member is insured. The combined amounts of the spouse's or domestic partner's life insurance cannot exceed 100% (or a maximum of $250,000) of the combined amounts of the member's life insurance.

To be eligible for insurance, an individual must be a current, dues paid member of OOIDA and :

• Own or operate one or more commercial truck(s), or
• Work a minimum of 30 hours a week (or average 1500 hours a year) in a trucking industry related job such as, but not limited to, truck driver, dispatcher, mechanic or office staff.
• If a spouse is applying and meets the member eligibility requirements, he/she may apply for the same amounts as a member. He/she will be required to pay $10 annual OOIDA membership dues.

*at age 70 there is a graded reduction in the coverage amount to 65% and 50% at age 75 and over.

Rates will change as the insured enters a higher age category. Also, rates may change if plan experience requires a change for all insureds.

Figure your monthly rate:

The rate for a 40-year old member is $2.27 per $10,000. For $50,000 worth of coverage, multiply $2.27 by 5.  The monthly rate would be only $11.35.

Included at no additional charge:

Will Preparation Services - If you become incapacitated and don't have a current living will/healthcare power of attorney, the decisions concerning your healthcare can become excruciating for loved ones. Without an up-to-date will, divvying assets - and the custody of any minor children - can fall at the mercy of your state's laws.
