Voluntary Benefits

Life, Accident, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity, Pet Insurance and Identity Theft Protection coverage are available to you, your spouse, and your dependent children. However, employees must have coverage in order for their spouse and children to obtain coverage. Voluntary Benefits are just that, voluntary.  The costs for voluntary benefits are 100% paid by the employee.

Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance

In addition to the employer paid Basic Life and AD&D coverage, you have the option to purchase additional voluntary life insurance to cover any gaps in your existing coverage. Your election, however, could be subject to medical questions and evidence of insurability.

If you enroll in employee supplemental life insurance when you are first eligible, you may elect to increase your coverage by $20,000 at a subsequent scheduled annual enrollment without providing evidence of insurability.
