Voluntary Life Insurance

You may purchase additional life insurance through payroll deduction during Open Enrollment or as a new hire. Voluntary Life insurance coverage, through Reliance Matrix, is portable and/or convertible. You can keep life insurance coverage at affordable rates even if you change jobs, retire or reduce work hours (thereby affecting eligibility).

The following coverage is available to you and your eligible dependents:

Employee Benefit Amount: Up to five times your annual earnings in increments of $10,000. Maximum amount of $500,000 is available.
Up to $200,000 available on a “Guaranteed Issue” basis (during initial eligibility). Amounts over $200,000 are subject to Evidence of Insurability. During the annual enrollment period, employees may increase their coverage up to the Guaranteed Issue maximum without Evidence of Insurability as long as some amount of coverage is already in effect.
