Voluntary Life/AD&D
Life Insurance
Life insurance provides your named beneficiary(ies) with a benefit in the event of your death.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance
Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance provides specified benefits to you in the event of a covered accidental bodily injury that directly causes dismemberment (i.e., the loss of a hand, foot or eye). In the event that your death occurs due to a covered accident, both the life and the AD&D benefit would be payable.
Remember, it is important to designate beneficiaries for all of your insurance policies that require them. If you don’t, laws may cause death benefits to be distributed differently than you had planned, resulting in additional taxes and may unnecessarily delay the process of finalizing payment to your loved ones. You should regularly review and, if necessary, update your beneficiary designations. You can update your beneficiaries at any time by logging into Benefit Connector (or by contacting Human Resources).
Deductions for Voluntary Life/AD&D are taken from your paycheck after taxes. Rates are available during enrollment.
