the basics
The Basic Life Insurance Plan provides a lump-sum benefit equal to two times your annualized regular pay if you die for any reason while you’re covered under the plan.
- Currently, this coverage is provided at no additional cost to eligible employees.
- You do not need to enroll for coverage; it is automatically provided once you become eligible to participate.
- This benefit is for employees only; you cannot cover dependents.
- Assigning Coverage. You can make a gift of your life insurance coverage to one or more people — or to an organization, such as a bank or law firm, that serves as a trustee. If you’re considering assigning your coverage, you should be aware of the personal, legal and tax implications. Review all the rules outlined the Plan’s summary plan description and consult with your attorney. Contact the HR Service Center if you need to assign coverage.
- Accelerated Benefit Option. You can request an accelerated payment of Plan benefits if you’re terminally ill and meet other eligibility requirements to receive an accelerated benefit. Review the Plan’s summary plan description or contact the Plan’s insurer for more information.
- Legal, financial and grief resources. Access professional services for a variety of needs - from legal matters and financial situations to coping with loss - through comprehensive mobile and web resources, as well as consultations.
