Enrolling
for Supplemental Life Insurance Benefits
You
may purchase coverage in $10,000 increments in any of the following four ways.
-
At
Open Enrollment without Evidence of Insurability
If you
are purchasing supplemental life for the first time, you may buy up
to two times your Basic Annual Earnings or $150,000, whichever is
less.
Once enrolled, during each subsequent open enrollment period you may increase your
coverage by up to two times your Basic Annual Earnings in $10,000
increments. Your total amount of insurance may not exceed six times
your salary or $500,000, whichever is less.
-
At
Open Enrollment with Evidence of Insurability (EOI)
During any open enrollment, you may buy up to six times your Basic
Annual Earnings or $500,000, whichever is less, with evidence of insurability.
-
At
Hire
As a new employee, you have 90 days from your date of hire to purchase
coverage up to three times your Basic Annual Earnings or $150,000, whichever
is less, without evidence of insurability; however, with EOI you may
purchase up to six times your Basic Annual Earnings or $500,000, whichever
is less. If you apply for more than the allowable amount of coverage
(an amount that requires you to submit evidence of good health), you
will initially be approved for the maximum allowable amount that can
be purchased without evidence of good health. Prudential will send
you a Health Statement Questionnaire that must be completed and returned
before the additional amount will be considered.
-
For
Your Dependents
To elect supplemental life insurance for your dependents, you must
be covered under or enrolled in supplemental life insurance for yourself.
You can purchase supplemental life insurance for your spouse and children
At any open enrollment; or
Within 90 days of hire; or
Within 31 days of acquiring a new dependent.
Supplemental
life insurance provides up to $40,000 coverage for your spouse; $10,000
is available without evidence of insurability. If you apply for $20,000, $30,000 or $40,000 in coverage for your spouse, Prudential will mail you a
medical questionnaire that must be completed and returned to them.
Supplemental
life insurance up to $5,000 for each child at least 15 days of age
and younger than age 23 is available for a single monthly premium
of 72 cents.
