Group life insurance

Group life insurance gives your employees financial protection for the people who depend on them. It is one of the most affordable benefits you can offer, and one employees value.

Options for your company

  • Basic group term life, often paired with accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage.
  • Voluntary (supplemental) life, so employees can buy additional coverage for themselves and their dependents through payroll deduction at group rates.
  • A tax-friendly benefit: under federal tax rules, the cost of the first $50,000 of employer-provided group term life coverage is generally not taxable to the employee.

Common questions

How much group life coverage do employers usually offer?

Many employers offer a flat amount or a multiple of salary, then let employees buy more as voluntary coverage. We will help you choose an amount that fits your budget.

What happens to group life coverage if an employee leaves?

Group coverage usually ends when employment ends, though many policies let employees convert or continue coverage on their own. Details vary by carrier.
