AD&D

Basic life insurance coverage includes AD&D coverage. In the event of accidental death or dismemberment, payment will be made based on the injury's severity - equal to between 25% and 100% of the coverage amount.

Optional Coverage

State employees who enroll in basic term life insurance can also buy additional term life insurance - from 1 to 5 times base annual earnings, up to a $500,000 benefit. Medical underwriting may be required. You pay the entire cost of optional coverage.

You Name Your Beneficiary

Death benefits will be paid to your named beneficiary(ies). You need to submit a new beneficiary designation form.

Accelerated Death Benefit

Both the basic and optional life programs include an advanced benefit if a covered member receives a terminal illness diagnosis that anticipates death within a one-year period. You may be eligible for an advanced payment of up to 100% of your combined basic/optional life insurance benefits.
