The plan also includes an additional AD&D benefit allowing the insured the opportunity to donate $5,000, in the event of his/her accidental death and dismemberment, to an environmental organization that positively impacts global conservation. This donation is payable by IMG on the insured's behalf. Patriot Green can only be purchased online, and coverage is available from five days up to two years for U.S. citizens traveling outside the U.S. and for non-U.S. citizens traveling outside their home country.

Symetra Life Insurance Company
Term Life

Symetra Life Insurance Company, Bellevue, Wash., announces the launch of the Protector Series, term life insurance that helps protect family members from financial burden when they lose a loved one. The Protector Series features two new products: Symetra Mortgage Protector and Symetra Protector Term Life Insurance.

The products are designed to help meet the life insurance needs of middle-income American families. The Protector Series is designed to help reduce the financial impact should the unexpected happen. The products provide death benefit protection for 15, 20 or 30 years, depending on the customer's needs and premiums remain level throughout the selected level term period.

For customers who have recently purchased or refinanced a home, Symetra Mortgage Protector is available to safeguard what is typically the single biggest financial obligation for most families -- their mortgage. Mortgage Protector is available to clients who have purchased a new mortgage or refinanced their existing mortgage in the last five years.

Protector Term Life, a fully underwritten policy, is available for individuals who may have a need for life insurance due to other major life events such as marriage, new baby, retirement or employment change.

A return-of-premium option is available on all Protector Series products. Several other benefits are included with the Protector Series at no additional cost, including common carrier accidental death benefit, which provides additional payments if death occurs as a result of certain accidents, and an accelerated death benefit, which provides early access to up to half of the death benefit prior to death if the insured individual is diagnosed as terminally ill.
