Determining Benefit Payments under the CPP

When it comes to the Contracted Protection Program (CPP), the total aggregate benefit available for Accidental Death and Dismemberment, Total Disability, and Medical Expenses will vary depending on the option chosen: $1,000,000 or $2,000,000.

It’s important to understand the order of payment within the CPP:

Accident-Related Medical Expenses: This coverage is prioritized and will be paid first.
Disability Income: Following medical expense coverage, disability income benefits will be considered for payment.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment: Lastly, benefits related to accidental death and dismemberment will be addressed.

It’s crucial to note that benefit payments made under one coverage may impact the benefits payable under any other coverage. This means that the total amount paid out will not exceed the total aggregate benefit specified under the option you have selected.

Carefully review the details and terms of the CPP to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the benefit structure and limitations.

Assistance in the Event of Accidental Death

In the unfortunate event of Accidental Death occurring within 90 days of a covered occupational accident, and prior to reaching the age of 75, the CPP offers support to your beneficiaries. A flat sum of $75,000 will be provided to your designated beneficiary in such circumstances. However, for non-occupational accidents, the flat sum is $15,000.

Moreover, your spouse or eligible surviving dependents may be entitled to receive monthly survivor’s benefits. These benefits amount to $2,500 per month, with a maximum total survivor’s benefit of $225,000.

If your Accidental Death occurs while wearing your seat belt during a covered occupational accident, an additional $10,000 death benefit will be paid to your beneficiaries.

It is crucial to thoroughly review the terms and conditions outlined in the CPP to fully understand the scope and eligibility criteria for these Accidental Death benefits.

Support for Dismemberment or Paralysis Due to Occupational Accidents

In the unfortunate event of a covered occupational accident resulting in dismemberment or paralysis, the Contracted Protection Program (CPP) provides financial support. Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to receive an amount of up to $100,000 ($15,000 for non-occupational accidents).

The disbursement of this benefit will occur at a rate of $1,000 per month. It is important to carefully review the terms and conditions of the CPP to understand the specific criteria and requirements for eligibility to receive these benefits in cases of dismemberment or paralysis.

Temporary Total Disability Income in the Event of Total Disability

In the unfortunate circumstance that you experience Total Disability within 180 days of a covered occupational accident, the Contracted Protection Program (CPP) provides support in the form of Temporary Total Weekly Disability Income. This benefit amounts to 75% of your weekly earnings, with a maximum weekly benefit of $500.

For the first 24 months, Temporary Total Disability is defined as the inability to continue your current occupation. Beyond that period, it is defined as disability from any occupation. The maximum disability benefit available is $300,000.

Additionally, for those enrolled in the $2,000,000 plan, an optional Coverage provides an increased Temporary Total Disability Income benefit of up to $600, based on 75% of your weekly earnings.

It is important to carefully review the terms and conditions outlined in the CPP documentation to understand the specific definitions, limitations, and optional coverages associated with Temporary Total Disability Income.

Coverage for Eligible Medical Expenses

Under the Contracted Protection Program (CPP), you will have coverage for eligible Medical Expenses resulting from a covered accident. This includes various expenses such as doctor’s fees, prescription drugs, ambulance services, chiropractic care (up to $1,000 per accident), and hospital costs.

It’s important to note that all benefits are subject to the limitations of usual and customary charges. The initial medical expenses must be incurred within 90 days of the accident to be eligible for coverage.

Furthermore, it’s important to understand that this coverage serves as excess over any other accident and/or health insurance plans you may have. Please review the detailed terms and conditions provided in the CPP documentation to gain a comprehensive understanding of the coverage, eligible expenses, and associated limitations.

Coverage for Pre-existing Conditions and Authorized Passengers

Regarding pre-existing conditions, as defined by the policy, they are covered up to a maximum of $25,000 for injuries resulting from covered occupational accidents. For non-occupational accidents, the coverage extends up to a maximum of $15,000 per accident.

In the case of authorized passengers, certain criteria must be met. These individuals are required to have completed a “Passenger Authorization” form and obtained approval from Landstar. Additionally, authorized passengers must be at least 18 years old and refrain from driving, loading, or unloading responsibilities.

For authorized passengers involved in a covered occupational accident with a Landstar Business Capacity Owner covered by the CPP, they are provided with a total coverage of up to $50,000 for accidental death, dismemberment, and medical expenses (with a maximum of $25,000 for medical expenses).
