ELIGIBILITY

Date a Person’s Insurance Takes Effect

You will become covered on the date (a) You sign the Tuition Payment Agreement and (b) You enroll for insurance; provided you are under the age of 70 on the later of the day you sign the Tuition Payment Agreement or you enroll for insurance.

Date an Insured Person’s Insurance Ends

Insurance coverage under this Certificate will terminate on the earliest of the following:

— the date that the last scheduled tuition payment for the current Tuition Payment Agreement is due;
— the day the Tuition Payment Agreement terminates for any reason; or
— the day of the Insured Person’s death.

In the event of termination of such Policy by the insurer or Policyholder, insurance coverage with respect to any insured Member shall be continued under such Policy for the remainder school year, unless such coverage is immediately assumed by the same or another insurer.

The Policyholder has the sole responsibility to notify the Insured Person of such termination.

BENEFITS

Payment of Proceeds

If the Insured Person dies while this Certificate is in force and all provisions have been met, Proceeds will be paid to the Beneficiary designated by the Member on the Tuition Payment Agreement for the current school year. Payment will be made in a lump sum after receiving due proof of loss.

Proceeds are equal to the outstanding tuition balance owed to the Educational Institution identified on the Tuition Payment Agreement that You have signed for the current school year. Proceeds will not include any tuition payments that are in arrears (past due) by more than two months. In no event will the Proceeds payable for each Tuition Payment Agreement be more than the Maximum Benefit Amount.

Proceeds are payable only once for each Tuition Payment Agreement.

If any portion of the Proceeds, as of the date of payment, exceeds the outstanding tuition balance then owed to the Beneficiary designated on Your Tuition Payment Agreement, any excess of Proceeds (including not more than two months of delinquent payments) shall be payable to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated by the Member on the enrollment form or to the estate of the Member, if no Beneficiary is designated.

Premium Refund

If the Certificate terminates prior to the end of the tuition period the Member may be eligible for a Premium Refund. Premium Refunds are calculated as the present value of the outstanding tuition balance remaining at termination, divided by the present value of the outstanding tuition balance at issue, multiplied by the premium. The number of elapsed months will be equal to the number of completed months. The outstanding tuition balance will not include any tuition payments that are in arrears (past due) by more than two months.

Overpayment Refund

If it is found that We paid more benefits than We should have paid under the Policy due to misrepresentation, error or any other reason, We will have the right to a refund from the recipient of benefits. The recipient of benefits must reimburse Us in full. We will determine the method by which the repayment is to be made.
