Survivor Benefits What happens to those you love if something
happens to you?
Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance - The Company provides you
with 100% company-paid Basic Life and AD&D. The coverage equals your annual base
pay, rounded to the next $1,000 up to $500,000.* You have the option to purchase additional
coverage for yourself, your spouse and your children.
Make sure to designate a beneficiary, even if you don’t elect additional coverage! If
you do not name a beneficiary, your life insurance proceeds will be distributed to either your
estate or equally among your immediate family members – if we can identify and find them!
Minor Children – If you name a minor child as a beneficiary, the insurance company will
NOT pay proceeds directly to a minor child. Depending on the state, a guardian will need
to be appointed who can accept the proceeds on behalf of the child – a complex and
often costly process! A better option is to name a trusted adult or set up a trust to accept
the proceeds.
