Basic Life and AD&D

Life and AD&D coverage helps protect your loved ones in the event of your death or serious injury. Even if you’re single, your beneficiary can use your Life insurance benefits to pay off your debts, such as credit cards, mortgages, and other final expenses.

Basic Life insurance – You receive Basic Life insurance coverage at no cost to you, and you do not need to enroll in any other health and protection program. Basic Life insures you for 1 times your basic annual earnings, up to a maximum of $250,000.

Basic AD&D is included with your Basic Life coverage and provides you specified benefits for a covered accidental bodily injury that directly causes dismemberment (i.e., the loss of a hand, foot or eye). If death occurs from an accident, 100% of the AD&D benefit would be payable to your beneficiary(ies).

Imputed Income – Under current tax laws, imputed income is the value of your Basic Life insurance that exceeds $50,000 and is subject to federal income, Social Security and state income taxes, if applicable. This imputed income amount will be included in your paycheck and shown on your W-2 statement.
