Term Life Insurance
What is Life Insurance?
In the simplest of words, it’s a type of insurance that issues a specific amount of money to beneficiaries
upon your death. The one offered by the Club is a 5 year, guaranteed renewable, group term. Term life
insurance is the original form of life insurance and is considered to be pure insurance protection
because it builds no cash value. Once approved, the plan cannot be cancelled or terminated for any
reason other than by the policyholder or for nonpayment of premiums. The premiums change once every five years.

Do I Need Life Insurance?
This is perhaps the most important question to ask and the question can be answered with another question.
If you die, will you leave behind people that are dependent on you financially? If you answered yes, then it
is very likely that you need life insurance.
Now I know that I need it, how much do I need?
This is where the power of the Club is most visible. Our Member Services Counselors are licensed and have
years of experience to make sound recommendations on how much coverage is appropriate for you. Please contact
Club Headquarters at 1-800-464-0452 to speak to one of our counselors.
What’s unique about the Club’s Life insurance?
Our term life insurance offers a host of other benefits you won’t find with other plans. Coverage is fully
portable (to age 60) at the employee rate if you terminate your employment for any reason. A Terminal Illness
Benefit is available — so if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness, you can access up to 60% of your
benefits (less the discount) to help alleviate the financial strain.
Spouse and Dependent Benefits Available
Unlike plans that restrict spouses to much lower coverage limits, Term Life Insurance from the Club allows
nonemployee spouses to enroll for up to $300,000 in policy benefits — even if the employee husband or wife
doesn’t participate in the plan. Dependent benefits are available, too.
If you haven’t protected your family with life insurance yet, it’s time to discover how affordable the best
can be. And if you’re still with another life plan, it’s time to take a look at what you’re missing! LACEA
life insurance delivers broader coverage options for you and your family…the solid reliability of The United
States Life Insurance Company…and you may even get money back at the end of the year.
Did you say money back?
It may sound amazing, but each year, after we pay
all claims and expenses, we divide any leftover premium payment money and return it to our members! Only
one term insurance plan does that: the one from the City Employees Club of Los Angeles.
When could I get coverage for my spouse?
Anytime – even if you’re not a member, and even if you stay with another plan. You can apply for up to
$300,000 in coverage – much higher than most other plans. Your better half’s coverage amount isn’t tied to yours.
And your spouse becomes eligible for a yearly refund check too.
Where else could I find a program like this?
Nowhere. That’s why it’s especially nice to know your great term life coverage isn’t tied to your
current job – you can take it with you if you leave the City or DWP before age 60. After 60, you are
eligible for LACEA Retiree Life coverage.
