PSBA Travel Accident Beneficiary Form
 
Optional AD&D Insurance Coverage
Each school director has the opportunity to purchase a more extensive, optional AD&D insurance plan, which provides coverage for them, their spouse and/or children at an affordable group rate. This Prudential plan covers accidental death or qualifying injuries, no matter where or when the accident occurs, day or night. Please note that this coverage replaces the BTA coverage; it is not a supplement to the complimentary plan.
 
Annual Premiums for optional 24-Hour AD&D Insurance Coverage
This optional plan provides coverage for the board director at $150,000 and is only $36 annually. Additional coverage in the amount of $50,000 for a spouse is just $14 annually, and $10,000 worth of coverage for all eligible children costs $5 annually.
 
Each school director who elects the optional 24-Hour AD&D Insurance Plan is required to complete the enclosed enrollment form. Otherwise, they are automatically covered with the Business Travel Accident coverage that PSBA provides at no-cost to the school director and no action is required.
 
You may enroll yourself if you elect the optional 24-Hour AD&D coverage. You may easily enroll online at https://psba.memberenroll.com/ or use the form sent to you (the same form linked above).

All enrollments and payments are due to PSBA Insurance Trust by Monday, January 16, 2023. Checks should be made payable to PSBA Insurance Trust and mailed to 400 Bent Creek Blvd, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050. No invoice will be issued for this program.
