dependent life insurance

The Dependent Life Insurance Plan permits you to purchase life insurance coverage for your eligible dependents. 

  • This coverage is optional; you need to enroll if you want to participate.
  • If you enroll, you’ll pay the full cost of coverage at group rates.

You can choose one or both of the following coverage choices, as applicable:

  • Spouse or domestic partner coverage. You can cover an eligible spouse or domestic partner in $10,000 increments from $10,000 to $250,000.
  • Child coverage. You can cover eligible child dependents for either $10,000 or $20,000.
    • If you elect this coverage, all of your eligible children (under age 26) are automatically covered. 
    • Coverage continues as long as you have at least one child eligible for coverage, but you must cancel coverage when all of your children become ineligible. 
    • Other dependents are not eligible for this coverage. 
    • If your spouse or domestic partner is also a Chevron employee, only one of you can carry Dependent Life Insurance – Child Coverage.

The plan's summary plan description and other key plan documents are included below, later on this page.

If you are eligible to participate in Chevron's U.S.-payroll health and protection benefits, you're eligible to enroll eligible dependents in the Dependent Life Insurance Plan.

Eligible dependents include: 

  • Spouse or domestic partner coverage. If your spouse or domestic partner is also a Chevron employee, neither of you can be enrolled in Dependent Life Insurance Plan – Spouse/Domestic Partner coverage.
  • Child dependents under age 26. "Other dependents" are not eligible for this coverage. If your spouse or domestic partner is also a Chevron employee, only one of you can carry Dependent Life Insurance – Child Coverage.

If you feel that your dependent may qualify to continue coverage beyond the maximum age of 26 due to being incapacitated or physically or mentally disabled, contact the HR Service Center, in advance of your dependent turning the maximum age, for further assistance and instructions about how to certify your dependent to be eligible to continue coverage.
 
The plan's summary plan description included below, later on this page, provide further information about eligible dependents.
