Basic Life Insurance: Eligibility

Basic life insurance is provided to:

  • All permanent exempt employees of the state of Ohio, both full-time and part-time, who have completed one year of continuous service;

  • Established-term regular employees; and

  • Judges and other elected or appointed officials of the state of Ohio serving fixed terms of office.


Continuous state service means the uninterrupted service in which an employee is paid directly by warrant of the director of budget and management where no break in service occurs. The following qualifications apply:

  • Reinstatement to state employment within 30 days does not constitute a break in continuous service.

  • Employees on authorized disability leave before the one year of continuous service is complete will be credited with the period of service prior to their leaving once employment resumes (the time spent on disability leave does not count).

  • Re-appointment within one year of the effective date of a layoff will be considered as having satisfied the waiting period.
