what is debt protection?
Debt Protection is a type of loan coverage available for closed-end personal loans, credit cards, and closed-end home equity loans of 120 months or less. This coverage alleviates stress in financially tumultuous situations that prevent you from making your loan payments.
when debt protection kicks in:
Loss of Job
Becoming Disabled
Loss of Life
Debt Protection covers your loan payment in these situations with no added interest, penalties or hits to your credit. Your local Arizona credit union has your back and a plan to protect your financial security through our comprehensive Debt Protection coverage.
plan it out
avoid the spiral
Debt Protection gives you time to get back on your feet + keeps the bills from piling up.
this AND that
It can be used in addition to any disability coverage you may have through work (which usually only covers 60 percent of your pay).
free and clear
In the event of death, Debt Protection allows your beneficiary to claim your full assets at no cost.
adjusts with your balance
Rather than paying a large up-front premium, you pay based on your loan balance. As it goes down, so does the amount you pay for coverage.

what types of loans are eligible for debt protection?
who is eligible for debt protection?*
All Plans: Anyone under 70 that has not been advised of or treated during the last 2 years for: cancer, heart attack or coronary artery disease, stroke, cirrhosis, AIDS, or an immune system disorder, or had any test showing evidence of antibodies to the AIDS virus
.Plans 1 + 2: Currently working 24 hours or more per week.
Plan 1: Must not be self-employed.
*Eligibility can change at any time. Please speak with a representative to review current eligibility terms.
if i turn 70 during my loan, am i ineligible for coverage?
You can receive benefits up until your 70th birthday. Once you reach this age, your plan will be terminated, and you will no longer be charged for Debt Protection.
what exclusions are there to debt protection coverage?
Benefits will not be provided under any Protected Event if: it is due to any intentionally self-inflicted injury, pre-existing condition, results from an act of war, results from the same occurrence for which you’ve previously used this benefit. In addition to above:
Benefits will not be provided under Disability if: it is related to a normal pregnancy or childbirth, or elective abortion. Complications due to pregnancy or childbirth will only be protected if the complications themselves are the cause of the disability.
Benefits will not be provided under Involuntary Unemployment if: your job is terminated because you retire, you resign for any reason, you are terminated for: willful or criminal misconduct, discharge from active military, a disability caused by sickness or injury, a strike or labor dispute.
Is there any delay in benefits being active?
There is a waiting period of 90 days for involuntary unemployment, and a 30-day elimination period for both disability and involuntary unemployment.
if i have a coborrower, do we both have to pay for coverage?
Not necessarily. You can choose to pay for coverage for only one person, however, that must be the primary borrower. You cannot have coverage for the joint only.
what happens to my debt when i die?
It depends on the type of debt, what was used as security for it, and how your estate is set up.
Example: If you own a home with a mortgage, and you pass away, the bank must be paid before your estate or beneficiary can claim ownership.
Example: If you owe on a personal loan or credit card when you pass, and you have funds in your checking or savings with that lender, the funds in your account will go toward your remaining loan balance and anything leftover will go to your beneficiary.
