LIFE INSURANCE

To protect the ones you love the most

Your utility buys life insurance and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance for you equal to your annual straight time earnings. You can buy additional life insurance and/or AD&D insurance. How much insurance coverage you buy is a financial decision…kind of. It’s an emotional decision…sort of. It’s about love and caring and the future…most definitely. Life insurance is offered by Reliance Standard.

You - if you are a regular full-time, part-time, seasonal, and limited assignment employee.

Your family - your spouse, domestic partner, and dependent children up to age 26. You must buy life and/or AD&D insurance for yourself if you want to enroll a family member.

Life insurance coverage: If you enroll within 31 days of being hired or promoted into an eligible position, you are guaranteed life insurance coverage without medical questions asked:

You - your guaranteed issue amount is $200,000.

Your spouse - his/her guaranteed issue amount is $25,000.

You can buy coverage exceeding the amount guaranteed to you with proof of good health (evidence of insurability). The maximum life insurance amount you can buy for yourself and your spouse is $500,000 or 5x your annual earnings, whichever is less.

You can enroll later, but any life insurance coverage amount purchased outside benefits open enrollment will require evidence of insurability.

AD&D insurance coverage: You can enroll in AD&D insurance at anytime. The maximum AD&D insurance amount you can buy for yourself and your spouse is $500,000 or 5x your annual earnings, whichever is less. Evidence of insurability is not required for AD&D coverage.

how much is it going to cost me?

It depends how much coverage you buy. Life insurance premiums are based on your age and go up as you get older.
