Life Insurance

Preparing for the unexpected is the basis of group life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance. Our group life and AD&D plans provide financial support for your plan members and their families in the event of a death or tragic accident.

Financial support for plan members and their families in the event of death
  • Offers various benefit levels for plan members and dependants
  • Lets plan members pay premiums through payroll deduction
  • Lets plan members add extra coverage

 
Life insurance "creates cash" for needs such as:

  • funeral & burial charges
  • probate fees
  • taxes at death
  • income replacement
  • mortgage
  • children's education
  • wealth & estate creation
Employee term life
If you choose to offer life insurance to your plan members:
  • Coverage is provided for plan members only
  • Benefits are paid to the appointed beneficiary upon a plan member's death, regardless of the cause of death
  • Various benefit levels of up to $500,000 are available (with a combined maximum of $1 million for all life and accidental death and dismemberment coverage)
  • Benefit level formulas are based on either specific amounts, or multiples of salary
 
Dependant term life
When you choose to offer coverage for your plan members and their eligible dependants:
  • Plan members’ spouses and dependent children are covered
  • The benefit is paid in a lump sum, regardless of the cause of death
  • The benefit is designed to pay for the insured's last illness and funeral expenses, not to replace the deceased's future lost income
  • Coverage is offered only in conjunction with employee term coverage
 
Optional term life
If you give your plan members the opportunity to add more coverage:
  • Plan members may increase their existing insurance coverage, at low group rates, to reflect their individual needs
  • Plan members can elect to cover just themselves, just their spouse, or both
  • The plan member and spouse must be under age 65 to be eligible
Note: Optional term life is available only to groups with 20 or more plan participants.
 
Group life conversion
If a plan member's, or his or her spouse’s, group life insurance coverage ends or is reduced, they may be eligible to convert to an individual life insurance policy without providing medical evidence of insurability.
