Can Supplemental Life Insurance be added for myself and/or my eligible dependents during Open Enrollment?

Also, employees may elect Supplemental Group Term Life insurance for their legally married spouse/eligible domestic partner in increments of $10,000, up to a maximum of $250,000, but not to exceed 100 percent of the amount of additional life the employee could elect.

Full-time employees who are covered by the Group Term Life and AD&D insurance program may also elect to purchase additional supplemental AD&D life insurance protection for themselves or a legally married spouse/registered domestic partner, and/or dependent children. The premiums for this additional supplemental life insurance are paid through payroll deduction with after-tax dollars.
Is there an age reduction benefit for the Group Term Life insurance like other insurances?
Yes, once an employee reaches the age of 65, reductions of the original value will begin. At age 65, the reduction is 65 percent of the original value. At age 70, the reduction is 50 percent of the original value, and at age 75+ the reduction is 35 percent of the original value.
Should I review and update my beneficiary?

How much will I be charged for Group Term Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance?

To calculate the imputed income, please review the imputed income example (PDF) for a better understanding of the imputed income cost versus the overall benefit.
