voluntary group accident insurance

The Voluntary Group Accident Insurance Plan pays benefits if you or a covered dependent suffers a covered loss as a result of an accident. 

  • 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.
  • This benefit is for you and your eligible dependents.

If you’re eligible to participate in Chevron's U.S.-payroll health and protection benefits, you're eligible to participate in Voluntary Group Accident Insurance coverage.

You can choose from the following types of coverage:

  • Coverage for yourself (You Only)
  • Coverage for you and your eligible dependents (You + Family)
  • You must be enrolled in the Plan to choose You + Family coverage. Dependent-only coverage is not available.

Eligible dependents include your spouse or domestic partner and child dependents. Your dependents must meet the Plan’s eligibility requirements to be eligible for coverage and/or to receive benefits payable. Review the Eligibility section of the Plan’s summary plan description, included below on this page, for more details.

When you enroll, you select the type of coverage (employee-only or family coverage) as well as the principal sum of coverage

  • You can purchase coverage for yourself from $10,000 up to the greater of $250,000 or 10 times your annualized regular pay (in increments of $10,000), subject to a maximum benefit of $1 million. The amount you purchase is called your principal sum of coverage. 
  • As long as you purchase Voluntary Group Accident Insurance Plan coverage for yourself, you also can enroll your eligible dependents for coverage. Your family members’ principal 
    sum of coverage is a percentage of your own principal sum of coverage, as listed in the plan's summary plan description. Coverage for your spouse or domestic partner is limited to a maximum of $600,000, and coverage for your eligible children is limited to $50,000 for each child.

If you suffer a covered loss due to an accident, the plan pays a percentage of your principal sum of coverage to you (or your beneficiary) based on a schedule of benefits. The percentage the plan pays depends on the type of covered loss.

If your covered family member suffers a covered loss (or dies) as a result of an accident, the plan pays a percentage of the principal sum to your covered family member (or to you in the case of death). The amount of benefits payable under family coverage is determined by the composition of your family and is based upon a percentage of your principal sum of coverage.

See the plan's summary plan description and other key plan documents, included below on this page, for further details about family principal sum of coverage, the schedule of benefits and to learn about what's considered a covered loss.
