Coverage Details

Coverage is set at the group level. Review the details below, then contact us for your group's rate confirmation and enrollment form.

Coverage is offered to New Jersey employers that participate in Association Member Trust (AMT). Within a group, regular full-time employees working at least 25 hours per week are eligible, and the employer can elect $1,000 of coverage for retirees who were active members for at least one year before retiring. Temporary or seasonal employees, full-time members of the armed forces, leased employees, and independent contractors are not eligible.

Eligible employees are covered on the group's effective date. Employees who become eligible later are covered on the first of the month that coincides with or follows their eligibility date. Retirees are covered on their retirement date.

The employer selects one Basic Life amount for all active employees, from $10,000 to $50,000 in $5,000 steps. Earnings- and class-based schedules up to $100,000 are available; contact The AMT Agency before electing one. Retirees are insured for $1,000.

For active employees, coverage reduces to 65% of the original amount at ages 65 to 69, 50% at ages 70 to 74, and $2,000 at age 75 and over. Retiree coverage does not reduce with age.

Accelerated Death Benefit, Portability of Insurance, and Right to Convert. Full terms are in the group policy and certificate.
