Your Company-paid Basic Life Insurance coverage is equal to two times your covered compensation, rounded to the nearest $1,000 (maximum $3,000,000). This coverage is automatic — you don’t have to enroll, but you do
need to designate a beneficiary to receive the benefit in the event of your death.
The plan also allows you to purchase additional coverage of one to six times your covered compensation, rounded to the nearest $1,000 (maximum $2,000,000). Coverage in excess of $750,000 requires a statement of health. You
can increase coverage each year during the Annual Enrollment period, up to the plan limit, however increases greater than one times will require a statement of health.
Note: A separate Level Premium Life Insurance Plan has been closed to new participants since June 1994. If you are enrolled in this plan, you cannot participate in Employee Life Insurance coverage described above.
