Summary HQ-based staff on regular, open, term, and executive director appointments are eligible for Optional Group Term Life Insurance or Optional Dependents¡¯ Group Term Life Insurance. Examples of life events are:
The same applies for the enrollment in or increase of Optional Dependent Life Insurance. Subsequent occurrence of life events, for example, death of dependent, do not create a new enrollment opportunity if the staff member had not enrolled the dependent prior to the new event. Marriage to the already enrolled domestic partner (DP) create a new enrollment opportunity to enroll in or increase Optional Dependent Life Insurance. This option is offered only for the first time when the DP is registered. It is considered a new life event only when an existing DP is dissolved and a new DP is registered. Termination and immediate re-appointment under a different appointment type, where both the old and new appointment types are eligible for Optional Group Life Insurance, do not afford the staff member a new opportunity to increase optional life insurance coverage. | |
