Optional Life Insurance

Each Plan Member may have different life insurance needs above the amount offered for Basic Life Insurance. Optional Life Insurance allows a Plan Member to purchase additional life insurance through payroll deductions. The cost of this coverage is considerably less than to purchase individual insurance outside of a group plan. Medical evidence of insurability is required for this benefit.

Optional Life Insurance is available with the following plan features:

• Coverage can be purchased for both the Plan Member and/or their spouse (if applicable)
• Coverage is available in units of $10,000 up to a maximum of $250,000
• There are no minimum participation requirements, which is a valuable feature if only a few Plan Members wish to purchase the additional coverage
• If coverage is transferred from an existing group plan, all coverage levels will be matched – with no medical requirements. Proof of coverage with previous insurer will be required

Dependent Life Insurance

While Basic and Optional Life Insurance cover Plan Members, the loss of a spouse or child can also result in unexpected expenses or financial burden. Dependent Group Life Insurance is an affordable benefit option that can provide the financial assistance Plan Members need to help them through this difficult time.

• Coverage is available up to $10,000 for the spouse and $5,000 for each child
• Coverage can be converted for a spouse if Plan Member leaves the organization
