former texaco life insurance

The Former Texaco Term Life Insurance Plan provides both a noncontributory benefit and access to a contributory benefit for eligible participants.

  • Noncontributory benefit. You’re provided with term life insurance coverage equal to one times your annualized regular pay at no cost to you.
  • Contributory benefit. If you are a grandfathered employee, you have the option to buy additional life insurance coverage under the contributory feature of this plan. You have a choice of contributory coverage levels, so you can elect the option that best meets your personal needs. You pay the full cost of contributory coverage at group rates.
  • If you are a grandfathered employee and you elect the contributory coverage, you will also be automatically covered under the Chevron Long-Term Disability (LTD) Plan. If you do not elect contributory coverage, you are not eligible for coverage under the Chevron LTD Plan.
This plan is only available to certain eligible former Texaco employees and grandfathered employees under the former Term Life Insurance Plan of Texaco Inc. See the Eligibility section of the plan's summary plan description and other key plan documents, included below on this page, for complete requirements.
  • 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.

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

  • Make changes to this coverage on the BenefitConnect website or by calling the HR Service Center.
  • Depending on the type of change, proof of good health may be required.
  • If you discontinue your contributory coverage, you’re not permitted to contribute to the plan again for at least six months. In addition, you will lose coverage under the Chevron LTD Plan.
Your beneficiary is the person or persons you name to receive benefits payable if you die. You can complete beneficiary designations for this and other applicable Chevron benefits on the BenefitConnect website or by calling the HR Service Center. Learn more about beneficiary designations.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires Chevron to report imputed income for all life insurance plans paid for by the company. Chevron will send you a W-2 form soon after the end of each year, showing the taxable value of your imputed income for the prior year, if any. You may be required to include this figure when you file your federal tax return; consult your tax advisor for additional information.
