BASIC AND VOLUNTARY LIFE & ADD

Basic Life/AD&D

Employees working 30 or more hours per week are eligible for $50,000 coverage payable to your designated beneficiary in the event of your death. An additional accidental death & dismemberment benefit (AD&D) is payable to you in the event of a covered dismemberment or to your beneficiary if your death is the result of an accident.


Voluntary Life/AD&D

A sudden accident or death can leave you or your loved ones in a vulnerable position. Employees have the opportunity to enroll in Term Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance which will supplement lost income in the event of an accident or death. If you choose to enroll in employee coverage, this will be in addition to your employer provided Basic Life coverage.


Who''s Your Beneficiary? Naming a beneficiary is a crucial part of electing life insurance. Also, don''t forget to update your primary or secondary beneficiary if you experience a life event, such as a divorce or birth of a child.


Please consult your Employee Benefits Guide and review the benefit summaries for additional details.
