LIFE INSURANCE 101 The need for life insurance depends on each individual life situation. If loved ones are financially dependent on you, then buying life insurance coverage can absolutely be worth it. Even if you don’t have financial dependents yet, life insurance can be a valuable solution for making death easier on a family (at least financially.) There are two voluntary life insurance options offered through your employer: Term Life Insurance and Permanent Life Insurance. Below is an overview of the differences.
Term Life and Permanent Life work best used in conjunction with one another. Term Life can protect your family in your younger working years and Permanent Life can protect your family in your retirement years. TERM LIFE INSURANCE Term Life insurance is illustrated on the bell curve below. The term life offered is a group policy which allows you to get more benefit for less premium. • Term life insurance is for the unexpected death • Includes an Accidental Death & Dismemberment Benefit • Term life insurance is flexible and allows changes to your benefit amount each year depending on life changes. For example, as you get married and have children the need for term insurance often increases. As you near retirement, the need for term life insurance often decreases. • Coverage is portable at retirement or if you leave the employer (premium will increase) • Premiums are based on age and increase as you get older
PERMANENT LIFE INSURANCE Permanent Life Insurance is illustrated above along the bottom of the graph with a straight blue arrow. • Permanent life insurance offers a stable premium along the lifetime of the policy • Permanent life offers a level premium and is meant to take into retirement • Permanent life is an issue age policy based on the age when the policy is issued • This is an individual plan you can take with you regardless of where you work 8

All employees should review carrier documents posted on your employer’s benefits website or request documents before electing coverage.
VOLUNTARY TERM LIFE & AD&D INSURANCE What is Voluntary Term Life Insurance and AD&D? A financial protection plan which provides a cash benefit to a beneficiary upon the death of the insured. Proceeds can be used to replace lost potential income during working years and help ensure your family’s financial goals will still be met; goals like paying off mortgage, keeping a business running, and paying for college. AD&D coverage is included as a part of life insurance benefits, and will pay out a lump-sum death benefit in the event you or a covered loved one die accidentally or pass away later as the direct result of an accident. This plan also has a dismemberment benefit which provides an additional lump sum payment if an insured becomes dismembered in an accident. Eligibility: Eligible full-time employees working 20 or more hours per week, spouse & children up to age 26 • Coverage through Mutual of Omaha • Must be actively at work on the effective date • If electing Voluntary Term Life outside of initial enrollment period, health questions will be required • Employee must elect coverage on themselves in order to cover spouse and/or children Term Life and AD&D Quick Summary
