About the Plan
UNM offers Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance to active benefits eligible employees through The Hartford. AD&D insurance pays you or your designated beneficiary a sum of money in the case of your accidental death or dismemberment.
Dismemberment can mean loss of eyesight, hearing, speech, or a bodily limb due to an accident.
- Coverage levels are offered in units of $10,000 increments up to $600,000.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) is a voluntary benefit and is 100% employee paid.
Refer to AD&D Life Plan Highlights below for more information.

Choosing or Changing Beneficiaries
If you enroll in UNM’s AD&D insurance, there is an important step to ensure you’re making the most of this important coverage – choosing or updating a beneficiary. A beneficiary is the person who will receive the proceeds of your AD&D insurance should you pass away due to an accidental injury. You can choose anyone as your beneficiary and change your designation at any time. And when you add or change a beneficiary online, your designation becomes effective immediately.
Examples of when to consider your beneficiary designation(s) are marriage, birth or adoption of a child, or divorce.
