Voluntary Life / AD&D Coverage
Western Valley Meat Company provides all active full-time employees with the option of purchasing additional Life and AD&D insurance for yourself, a spouse, and/or child(ren) through The Standard at low group rates! You must enroll in this coverage before you can purchase this coverage for your dependent(s). When you enroll yourself (and your dependents) in this benefit, you pay the full cost through post-tax payroll deductions. Please note that you may need to complete an evidence of insurability form if you elect an amount above the guaranteed issue or if you decline to enroll at your initial eligibility date. The Voluntary Life/AD&D plan has an Annual Open Enrollment Feature that allows current participating employees to increase their voluntary life/AD&D election by $10,000 without having to provide an Evidence of Insurability, as long as the new elected amount doesn’t exceed the Guarantee Issue Amount.
Employee | Spouse/Domestic Partner | Child(ren) |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage Increments | $10,000 | $5,000 | $10,000 |
| Guarantee Issue Amount | $200,000 | $40,000 | $10,000 |
| Maximum Amount | $500,000 | $250,000 | $10,000 |
Your combined Basic Life and Additional Voluntary Life amounts cannot exceed a maximum of eight times your annual earnings. The coverage amount for your spouse and child(ren) cannot exceed 100% of your additional Life coverage.
Rates for yourself and your spouses are based on your age; please refer to your voluntary life/AD&D enrollment kit for rates.
