Susan* passed away instantly in a car accident
She was a mother who left two kids behind in their twenties. Since Susan had Group Term Life Insurance, her son filed a death claim.
When the claims examiner, Anna*, reviewed the claim, it really resonated with her. “I lost both my parents around the same age as this son was when he lost his mother. I couldn’t help but relate with what he and his sibling were going through.”
As Anna cross-checked this claim for other coverages, she noticed that Susan also had Accident Insurance offered by Voya, and this coverage included an Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance rider.
Anna then alerted our Accident Insurance claims team. They opened, approved and paid a $30,000 AD&D benefit to Susan’s two kids, who were her beneficiaries, without requiring any additional paperwork or claim submission.
Susan’s kids received an Accident Insurance AD&D benefit of $30,000 for Susan’s covered, accidental death.
“It’s rough to lose a parent at that stage in life,” Anna said. “When I went through it, I was able to use the money I received to live on my own and go to college. I know firsthand how much of a difference it can make.”
