New Members Receive a Mailing from Member Benefits with the Following: 1. Information about the dozens of endorsed Shopping, Travel & Personal programs available to NYSUT members. 2. Provision of a no-cost Term Life Insurance policy providing coverage for up to $25,000* for one year (as long as NYSUT membership is maintained through your local). This insurance is guaranteed renewable for up to $25,000 at the end of the year. New members under age 40 will not need to complete any paperwork to receive this no-cost coverage. New members age 40 and older will receive the no-cost coverage for a one-year period if they can successfully answer several medical questions as part of a simplified issue offer. New members under age 65 will also have the option to increase coverage up to $100,000 without additional medical underwriting. 3.
