Benefits

HIGH COVERAGE – MEMBER EXCLUSIVE RATES

The Group Travel Accident Insurance efficiently delivers generous benefits for only pennies a day. How is this possible?

Because CSEA avoided expensive “extras” that most people never need. The result is a streamlined program that stands by your family with cash benefits when they need them most:

MEMBER COVERAGE:

$200,000.00 CASH BENEFITS PAID to your family if you die within 365 days after a common carrier accident (as a fare-paying passenger on a commercial plane, taxi, bus, cruise ship, train, or other common carrier).

$100,000.00 CASH BENEFITS PAID to your family if you die within 365 days as a result of a private motor vehicle accident – as a driver or passenger. Includes RVs, cars, vans, pick-ups, trucks, and more. Experience shows that motor vehicle accidents cause the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans, and hospitalization of millions more.1

1National Safety Council, Injury Facts 2024

 

UP TO $200.00 A DAY CASH BENEFITS PAID for every day you’re treated as an inpatient in a hospital because of a covered common carrier accident. Benefits for private passenger vehicle accidents are $100 a day. You are covered for a maximum of up to two full years from the date of a covered accident – that’s up to $146,000.00 in cash benefits!

Of course, your CSEA Travel Accident benefits are always paid IN ADDITION to any other insurance you may have. It’s a valuable cash benefit to help pay for expenses your regular health insurance doesn’t cover – like co-payments or deductibles… plane tickets for loved ones to fly home… even bills like the electricity and mortgage piling up at home.

YOU’RE UNDER NO OBLIGATION

If you decide your CSEA endorsed Travel Accident Protection isn’t for you, just let us know within the first 30 days. We’ll promptly refund your premiums, provided no claim has been submitted, and invalidate your coverage. No questions. No obligation.

FAQs

WHY ACTIVATE TRAVEL ACCIDENT BENEFITS?

Because CSEA Affiliate Members are “on-the-move” people. With our active outdoor lifestyles, we’re often “out and about” in cars, planes, buses, taxis, trains, ships, ferries and more. So we set up the Travel Accident Insurance as an extra-mile safety net to help protect CSEA families from accidents in exactly those situations.

Because the Travel Accident Insurance isn’t weighed down by unnecessary features that drive up costs. As a result, you can lock in high dollar benefits paid straight to your loved ones – without paying extra money for expensive bells and whistles that you don’t need.
Because your family is probably on the go just as much as you. You all travel – whether it’s across town for groceries, to school, to another state for family vacations, or across the country for work. Since no one can predict how or when an accident will strike, consider full family protection by choosing the “All Of Us” option when you enroll in Travel Accident Protection.

CSEA set up the Travel Accident Insurance to be paid in addition to any other benefits you may have. That means your family will collect the full Travel Accident cash benefits they’re entitled to – REGARDLESS of any other insurance proceeds from a medical plan, life insurance, workers’ compensation or any other program.

Yes. You’re eligible for coverage as long as you are a CSEA Affiliate Member in good standing and residing in the U.S.

For easy budgeting, premiums are deducted from your paycheck or pay warrant.
If you decide Travel Accident Insurance isn’t for you, just let us know within the first 30 days. We’ll promptly refund your premiums, provided no claims have been paid, and invalidate your coverage. No questions. No obligation.

CSEA Recommends “All Of Us” Benefit Option

Please consider signing up both you and your family when you enroll in your Travel Accident Benefits (See Terms Tab for Dependent Coverage amounts).

You’re all guaranteed acceptance in the program. You all travel – whether it’s across town for groceries, to school, to another state for family vacations, or across the country for work.

Because there’s no telling when (or who) an accident will strike next, CSEA recommends you consider full family protection with the “ALL OF US” benefit option.

COVERAGE FOR YOUR DEPENDENTS

CSEA benefits can be extended to your family. The “ALL OF US” option gives coverage to your spouse, and also covers all of your unmarried dependent children, too – no matter how many kids you have – up to age 19, or up to age 25 if a full-time student. Spouse benefits equal 50% of Member’s benefits if you have no children. If you have children, spouse benefit equals 40% of member benefit and children’s benefit equals 10% of member’s benefit. If you have no spouse, children’s benefit equals 10% of member’s benefit. For all covered persons, benefits reduce 50% at age 70, and another 50% at age 75. Total maximum benefit payable will be reduced to $10,000.00 (includes combination of principal sum and In-Hospital confinement expenses) upon reaching age 80 for a member and a spouse. Premiums remain the same.

TERMINATION OF COVERAGE

Your coverage will remain in force as long as the Master Policy remains in place and is not amended to end insurance for the group of individuals to whom you belong, you pay the premium when due, and you remain a Member of the CSEA. Coverage for your dependents ends when your coverage ends or when the eligibility requirements cease being met.

COVERAGE AT LATER AGES

Total maximum benefit will be reduced to $10,000.00 (includes combination of principal sum and In-Hospital confinement expenses) upon reaching age 80 for a member and spouse. Premiums remain the same.

Disclosure to Third Parties

This website does not sell or rent any of your personal information to affiliates or unaffiliated third parties. We will not share any of your personal information with third parties except in the circumstances described below or with your permission.

 We disclose personal information with third parties or affiliates that we in good faith believe are appropriate to enable them to provide services to you and to contact you regarding additional products and/or services that you have expressed an interest.

 Cooperation in investigations of suspected fraud or other illegal activity, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or to conduct investigations of violations of the -site’s Terms of Use or the Terms of Service Agreement, or as otherwise required by law. This may also include protecting and defending the rights, property, or safety of AGIA, other users of this Site or responding to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties.

 We disclose information to your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that you grant, or a guardian appointed for you).

 As with any other business, it is possible that in the future we could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to personal information maintained by us, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended.

 As otherwise permitted by federal or state law.

Do Not Track

 Some internet browsers offer the user a “Do Not Track” technology.  The Do Not Track (DNT) header is the HTTP header field DNT that requests that a web application disable either its tracking or cross-site user tracking of an individual user.  At the current time, this Site does not have the capability of recognizing a “Do Not Track” request.

You only receive e-mail from us if you check a box indicating an interest in a particular e-list or if you provide an e-mail address for a customer service inquiry and need an answer via e-mail. We collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail and online forms, including those who specifically check a box to subscribe on our online forms (for example, request for information on this website). Any user who signs up for e-mails can unsubscribe or manage his/her subscription by linking to the personal URL e-mailed to all subscribers.

The CCPA and CPRA requires that we provide privacy information to California residents and we use this separate section to ensure compliance with the CCPA and CPRA requirements. This section applies solely to natural persons residing in California (“Consumers”), and does not apply to individuals living elsewhere, businesses or other corporate entities.

Your Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act

Right to Confirm or Access Information

  You may have the right to confirm whether we process certain information or what information we process, and to obtain a copy of that information in a format that allows you to transmit the information to another business without difficulty.

  Once we receive and confirm your identity and verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you the following at your direction (with various exceptions):

a)  The categories of personal information we collected about you in the last 12 months;

b)  The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you in the last 12 months;

Right to Delete Personal Information

  You have the right to request that AGIA delete any of your personal information we collected from you and retained, with certain exceptions. You will need to submit a valid and verifiable request so AGIA can confirm your identity and/or authorization to make such a request. AGIA will determine if retaining the information is permitted or required under the law. If no retention conditions apply, we will delete your personal information from our records and direct any Service Providers to do the same.

Right to Correct Personal Information

  Taking into consideration the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of your personal information, you may have the right to correct inaccuracies in such information. Upon submission to AGIA of a valid and verifiable request where your identity and authorization can be confirmed, AGIA will use all reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate information.

Right to Limit Processing of Sensitive Personal Information

  AGIA processes sensitive personal information only as necessary in performance of our services to ensure the security and integrity of your information or as otherwise specified under regulation. Because AGIA does not process your sensitive personal information for other purposes, there is not a mechanism for you to limit the processing of this information.

Right to Opt-Out of Profiling

  AGIA does not engage in automated processing of personal information to make decisions that yield legal or other material consequence. Because we do not engage in this processing, AGIA does not provide a mechanism for you to limit our processing of personal information in this manner.

Right to Opt-Out

  AGIA does not sell your personal information; therefore we do not provide a mechanism for you to limit our processing of personal information in such a manner.

Right to Non-Discrimination

  AGIA will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA or CPRA. Examples of discrimination could be charging you inflated rates by imposing penalties or granting discounts or other benefits, denying you goods or services or providing you a different level of quality of goods or services.

  Any acts of discrimination are prohibited by the CCPA and CPRA and AGIA will not engage in them.

Personal Information We Collect, Sources and How We Use It

  In our Privacy Policy, sections titled, “Personal Information We Collect”, “How We Use Your Personal Information”, and “AGIA Personal Information Processing” outline the personal information we collect, its sources and how we use it for all consumers we interact with, including California residents. In effect, it is used to provide and manage products and services we provide and support our everyday operations, including risk management, legal and compliance requirements.

Exercising Your Rights as a California Consumer

  You, or a person authorized by you to act on your behalf, or an entity registered with the California Secretary of State and authorized by you to act on your behalf, can make a request regarding your personal information under the CCPA and CPRA.
