Life and Disability Insurance
Basic Life/AD&D Insurance
Basic Life/AD&D benefits vary by location. Benefits coverage applicable to you can be found in Workday, in your benefit elections, under Company Provided Life and AD&D Benefit.
Voluntary Life Insurance
In the event you want additional insurance coverage for your family, you can purchase voluntary life insurance at competitive group rates. Once you purchase coverage for yourself, you can also get coverage for your spouse and eligible dependents.
If you are newly eligible and have not previously waived your opportunity to elect coverage, you can elect up to the plan’s guaranteed issue amounts without submitting evidence of insurability (EOI). If you are a late entrant and have previously waived the opportunity to purchase additional coverage, you may be required to submit EOI. EOI requirements are communicated when you enroll.
