For an additional $10 a year, your beneficiary will receive a $40,000 benefit in the event of your ON-DUTY accidental death (including travel to and from authorized activities). In the event of an OFF-DUTY accidental death, a $20,000 benefit will be paid. In addition, if you suffer a Severe Burn over 20% or more of your body during an ON-DUTY event, a lump sum benefit of $5,000 is paid. It is important to know that IF a department chooses the additional policy for their members there are certain age limits present. IF a department member is above the age of 70 the following applies:

Member Age 70-79 the policy payout is cut in half. The payout would be $5,000 for AD&D and $10,000 for LODD; ALSO $2,500 would be the payout for severe burns.

Member age 80+ the policy will only pay $2,500 for AD&D and $5,000 for LODD; ALSO $2,000 would be the payout for severe burns.

Please be sure to be aware of these stipulations and inform your set beneficiaries. SFFMA will keep a record of payment for this policy and report it to VFIS.

NVFC 24-Hour Accidental Death & Dismemberment Program -- $21 per person/year

All NVFC personal members are automatically enrolled in a 24-Hour $10,000 Accidental Death and Dismemberment group policy. This policy will pay for a covered loss resulting from a bodily injury to a member. If a bodily injury results in death, the principal sum of $10,000 will be paid to the named beneficiary. If an injury causes the member’s death while that person is engaged in an Emergency Duty, then the death benefit payable is doubled to $20,000. Emergency Duty means participating in, including travel directly to and from, any fire suppression or emergency response; any rescue or emergency medical activity; or any training exercise.

If a bodily injury results in dismemberment, a benefit will be paid to the member according to the schedule of losses listed in the policy.

There is also an additional Seat Belt Benefit. This will pay an additional 10% of the death benefit if death occurs while the member was wearing a properly fastened seat belt. This applies to Private Passenger Cars as well as to emergency service vehicles.

NVFC personal members may select and name their own beneficiaries and are free to change the selection at any time. The appropriate forms are available on our website.
