Optional Life Insurance

For Yourself:
In addition to basic life insurance, you may elect optional life insurance for yourself in $5,000 increments, starting at $5,000, with a maximum of $50,000. The table below shows your cost, based on your age as of July 1 of each plan year and the amount of coverage you select. (You use after-tax dollars for your contribution for the amount of company-sponsored life insurance - basic life, plus optional life - that exceeds $50,000.)


Evidence of Insurability is required if you are selecting optional employee life insurance for the first time or increasing your coverage.
