Enrollment and Coverage

man in front of shieldAll eligible employees receive free of charge, one times annual base salary up to a maximum of $35,000. Optional Life Insurance and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage for employee, spouse, dependent children and qualifying Sponsored Dependents is available and paid for by the employee. A qualifying Sponsored Adult Dependent is eligible for Life Insurance and/or AD&D coverage at the same rates and coverage amounts as shown below for a spouse.
Optional Life Insurance is guaranteed if the employee enrolls during the first 30 days following initial eligibility.

Approval of the delayed application is not guaranteed and is subject to the approval of the underwriter. (Website is a secured site, and your Social Security Number is not required.)
