Voluntary Life and AD&D Insurance

You can elect coverage for yourself, your spouse, and/or your child(ren). You pay for the cost of this coverage but get the advantage of group rates

  • Guarantee Issue – Employee $250,000 / Spouse $50,000 / Child $10,000
  • Coverage above the Guarantee Issue may require completion of Evidence of Insurability (EOI)
  • Maximum coverage for Employee – lesser of 5x Salary or $500,000
  • Maximum coverage for Spouse – Employee’s elected amount up $500,000
  • Maximum coverage for Child — $10,000
  • In order to purchase Life coverage for your spouse and/or child, you must purchase Life coverage for yourself.

What is Guaranteed Issue Amount? 

If you are newly eligible and have not previously waived your opportunity to elect coverage, you may elect up to the guaranteed issue amounts without submitting Evidence of Insurability (EOI). If you are a late entrant and have previously waived the opportunity to purchase additional coverage, you will be required to submit EOI. 

Annual Enrollment Provisions 

You may change coverage at annual enrollment and increase up to the guarantee issue without EOI. If the amount during annual open enrollment is over the guarantee issue, then that amount will require EOI. An Employee, Spouse or Child who is not currently insured at annual enrollment and elects coverage for the first time is considered a late entrant and all amounts of Life insurance elected are subject to EOI.
