Basic and Additional Life

Basic Life Insurance benefits offer you a way to protect your family’s financial security in case of injury or death. The weekly cost is very inexpensive and the benefit is 1.5x your annual salary, up to a maximum of $50,000.

Employees may purchase Additional Life Insurance in $10,000 increments up to 7x your base salary, capped at $500,000. Be sure to review your allowed maximum, as you may be eligible to raise your current benefit amount if your salary has increased. An Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form will be required if you choose to raise your current Additional Life amount.

The benefit amount for Basic and Additional Life policies reduce to 65% of the policy amount at age 65, 40% at age 70, and 25% at age 75 or above.
