Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Debt Cancellation different from an insurance product?
Debt Cancellation directly addresses your loan obligations rather than providing a separate payout. When a protected event occurs, it directly cancels or makes payments on your loan, eliminating the need to manage insurance claims and coordinate payments. This streamlined approach means you don’t have to worry about using insurance proceeds correctly – the program automatically handles your loan payments, ensuring your credit remains protected and your family isn’t burdened with managing claim payments during difficult times.
How do I qualify for Debt Cancellation protection?
Qualification for Debt Cancellation protection is straightforward for UCCU members. You must be under age 70 and gainfully employed (working 30 hours or more per week) at the time of enrollment for full benefits. The program offers various coverage options, and you can enroll when you take out your loan. If you decide to add protection after your loan is established, some health questions may be required if it’s been more than 30 days since the loan origination.
If I already have life and disability insurance, why would I need Debt Cancellation?
While traditional life and disability insurance provide important protection, Debt Cancellation offers specific advantages for your loan obligations. Most Americans are underinsured, with experts recommending life insurance coverage of 8-10 times annual salary. Debt Cancellation ensures your loan is specifically covered, allowing your other insurance proceeds to go directly to your family’s needs rather than debt repayment. Additionally, most workplace disability plans only cover 60% of your salary, which may not be sufficient to maintain your loan payments and other expenses.
