Life & Death Insurance

Basic Life and AD&D

Life insurance pays a lump-sum benefit to your beneficiary(ies) to help meet expenses in the event of your death. Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance pays a benefit if you die or suffer certain serious injuries as the result of a covered accident. In the case of a covered accidental injury (e.g., loss of sight, loss of a limb), the benefit you receive is a percentage of your total AD&D coverage based on the severity of the accidental injury.

This summary is not intended as a guarantee of benefits. If there is ever a discrepancy with what is shown here and the summary of benefits and coverage from the carrier, the carrier documents will govern. Contact the carrier to verify benefits before seeking services.

Guarantee Issue and Evidence of Insurability

Guarantee Issue (GI): A specific amount of life insurance coverage that an employee can obtain without having to provide Evidence of Insurability (EOI). This means the employee is automatically eligible for coverage up to the GI limit regardless of their health status or medical history, if they apply within the designated enrollment period. Typically, GI amounts are offered during:

  • Initial enrollment periods when employees first become eligible for coverage.
  • Certain qualifying life events (e.g., marriage, birth of a child) that allow employees to add or increase coverage without EOI.

Evidence of Insurability (EOI): An application process by which an employee and/or spouse/domestic partner applying for voluntary life insurance coverage provides proof of their good health and insurability to the insurance company. The EOI process usually involves submitting a health questionnaire or medical information that allows the insurance company to assess the risk of insuring the employee. The insurer uses this information to decide whether to approve the coverage, deny it, or offer it with certain conditions or higher premiums. This EOI is typically required when an employee:

  • Applies for coverage beyond the guaranteed issue amount (the amount offered without health questions)
  • Applies for coverage after the initial enrollment period
  • Requests to increase their existing coverage amount
