Core Life & Accidental Death & Dismemberment benefits

Life Benefits

Life Benefits offer financial protection and support for plan members and their families. They’re designed to help provide peace of mind and security. Adding these benefits to your existing group plan can protect your plan members and their beneficiaries should they pass away or suffer serious injuries in an accident. You can choose a plan design that includes coverage for plan members as well as their spouses and children.

Group Life Insurance is a valuable core benefit that offers financial protection for families if the plan member or their dependent passes.  You can choose coverage:

  • based on flat dollar amounts or multiples of salary*
  • that includes a waiver of premium benefit for totally disabled employees.

AD&D insurance offers an extra layer of financial protection for plan members and their loved ones. This coverage provides additional support in the unfortunate event of accidental death or serious injury resulting from unexpected incidents. AD&D typically includes:

  • Financial protection for accidental loss of life or serious accidental injuries such as loss or impairment of limbs, loss or impairment of sight, speech, or hearing.
  • Additional benefits include:
    • Family transportation benefit
    • Repatriation benefit
    • Spouse occupational training benefit
    • Child education benefit
    • Rehabilitation program
