Here are important terms and conditions for the
Payment Protection Plan.
The Payment Protection Plan is an optional insurance program that protects
your Nebraska Furniture Mart purchases and your account balance in the
event of involuntary unemployment, unpaid family leave of absence,
disability or death. As the Primary Insured Cardholder, you receive:
- Property
Coverage — can pay to repair or replace insured property if
it is stolen, or accidentally damaged or destroyed due to covered
perils listed below. Coverage continues for 36 months after the
purchase of the insured property while this coverage is in effect.
- Involuntary Unemployment
Coverage — can pay a monthly benefit payment to your
account if you become involuntarily unemployed due to loss of job,
strike or layoff for more than 30 consecutive days.
- Disability
Coverage — can pay a monthly benefit payment to your
account if you become totally disabled and unable to work for more
than 30 consecutive days.
- Family Leave
Coverage — can pay a monthly benefit payment to your
account if you or your Co-Cardholder takes an unpaid leave of absence
from work due to a special circumstance for more than 30 consecutive
days.
- Life Coverage —
can pay your unpaid account balance, up to $10,000, if you or your
Insured Co-Cardholder should die.
Benefits, except for Property Insurance, are based on
your account balance at the time of loss and do not include any amounts
added to your account (including insurance charges) after your loss. The
monthly benefit payment will be calculated by multiplying your account
balance on the date of loss by no less than the minimum payment percent
required by the creditor. The monthly benefit payment may not be enough
to pay the required monthly payment on your account. Life, Disability,
Involuntary Unemployment and Property benefits are payable up to a
maximum of $10,000 or the account balance, whichever is less. The cost
is 89¢ per $100 of your ending monthly balance (in Arkansas, if you want
Life coverage only for you, the Primary Insured, your adjusted cost is
84¢ per $100) and is conveniently added to your billing statement each
month that you carry a balance. Coverage is voluntary and you are free
to cancel at any time.
To be eligible for Involuntary Unemployment,
Disability and Family Leave benefits, you must be gainfully employed on
a full time basis for at least 30 hours a week at the time of loss. To
qualify for Involuntary Unemployment benefits, you must register with a
recognized employment agency or your state unemployment office within 30
days after the date you become unemployed.
Family Leave Insurance covers unpaid absences from
full-time employment while you or your Co-Cardholder are caring for an
immediate family member with a serious medical condition, caring for a
newborn or adopted child (only 3 monthly benefits are paid for the care
of a newborn or adopted child), on active military duty due to mandatory
recall, on jury duty, or residing in a federally declared disaster area.
Family Leave Insurance does not cover losses caused
by a pre-existing medical condition. A "pre-existing medical condition"
is one for which your family member saw or was treated by a licensed
health care provider both within the 6 months before and the 6 months
after the Effective Date of Coverage. Family Leave benefits are limited
to 6 monthly payments.
The covered perils for
Property Insurance are: Aircraft, Burglary (of which there
must be visible evidence of forcible entry) from within a building, room
or locked motor vehicle, Civil Commotion, Collision, Earthslide,
Explosion, Fire, Riot, Lightning, Hurricane, Hail, Marine Perils,
Malicious Mischief, Smoke, Tornado, Typhoon, Vandalism, Vehicles and
Windstorm. Coverage does not include accidental dropping, breaking or
breakdown of property due to normal wear and tear.
All coverage terminates at age 71. This program is available only to residents of
NE.
