Full-time employees, part-time employees, and retirees are automatically provided with basic life insurance. Full-time active employees and part-time Participants in the Medical plan can elect to purchase an additional $10,000 or $50,000 in supplemental life insurance at your own expense. Active part-time employees without Medical/Vision and Dental coverage with the Plan can only elect an additional $35,000 in supplemental life insurance. You can download a supplemental life insurance form to complete and submit.
Your designated beneficiary will receive a lump-sum benefit upon your death. It would help if you were covered by the Health & Welfare Plan for your designated beneficiary to receive this benefit.
The Plan also provides an additional benefit to active employees for accidental death or dismemberment. You may also be eligible to receive up to half of your life insurance benefits if you are terminally ill.
The amount of the benefit that your beneficiary is eligible to receive is based on your work status and the other coverage you have, as shown in the chart below.
