Engineers are seers, inventors and doers, with a difficult task of making complex ideas workable for a variety of clients across myriad industries. One would think, therefore, that there are virtually no similarities in how engineers perform their jobs and how insurance is tailored to the needs of engineers. In fact, there are several.
You Manage Risk — As Do We
Whether you are designing safety, security or functionality into a product or trying to protect your family, you go the extra mile to mitigate risk. So do we. A critical part of your financial plan — assuring your family’s security, protection and functionality — is solved with life insurance. The IEEE Member Group Insurance Program offerings mitigate risk, providing your family with immediate access to benefits upon a qualifying event and long into the future.
You Use Design and Analysis Tools — So Do We
We know that you use a variety of complex design and analysis tools that promote the best outcome in your products, no matter your area of expertise. Our tools simplify the process of plan selection and smart decision-making, helping you arrive at the right insurance outcome for your circumstances. Our tools include these aids:

You Design Products to Last — Like We Do
It’s true that electronics products continually evolve to keep up with changing demands and rapid advances. Nonetheless, you design a product that is solid and can last until its replacement evolves. Our products last even longer. For example, our IEEE Member Group 10-Year Level Term Life Insurance Plan is in force until you reach your 75th birthday.1
You Meet and Exceed Requirements — Just Like Us
You integrate unique features and expanded benefits into your products, with a constant eye on the bottom line. Does your device meet your performance goals, while maintaining a competitive price? We have the same philosophy. For example, we provide several discounts, including:
- Volume discounts: The more you purchase, the more you save per unit of insurance.
- Premium credit: A favorable claims year may result in a premium credit. For example, the IEEE Member Group 10-year Level Term Life Insurance Plan currently has a 10% premium credit in effect through February 28, 2019.
- Tobacco-free discounts: If you and your spouse qualify, non-tobacco rates cut premiums even more.
You May Work on a Team — Join Ours
Not all groups are created equal. The advantages of the IEEE Member Group 10-Year Level Term Life Insurance Plan include the ability to negotiate competitive rates based on the sheer size of the group. A history of favorable claims over a span of many years have kept plan rates in check.
You Provide Customization — So Do We
It’s what makes both of us different from the competition. You add options based on the needs of your customers; so do we. Not only are several of our plans unique, we also offer a number of life insurance options. For example, you can purchase options ranging from $100,000 to $2,000,000 in multiples of $10,000. Your spouse may also apply for coverage up to the member’s coverage amount. In addition, each eligible child can be insured for $10,000.
You Don’t Exclude — Neither Do We
Your products are designed for anyone who purchases them. So are ours. Should death occur from any cause, we pay the death benefit. Our death benefits are paid to beneficiaries anywhere in the world so you can rest assured that your loved ones will be taken care of, no matter where they are.1, 2
