Individual and Family Group Life Insurance

  • Initial Premium Determination: The premium for employee and spouse coverage is determined by the employee's age as of January 1 of the current year (year in which coverage is effective).
  • Annual Premium Review: Premiums are reviewed each year and may change based on the employee's age and coverage amount. The premium for employee and spouse coverage is determined by the employee's age as of January 1 of the plan year. Premium changes, if any, are effective for January coverage. Premiums are deducted one month in advance of coverage.

Premiums are based on the cost per $1000 of coverage. A premium calculator is available to help you determine your exact premium. Child coverage insures all children with the same coverage amount for one biweekly premium.
