Life Insurance

Having the right amount of life insurance can help protect your loved ones and provide for their future. Eligible team members are provided with basic employer-paid life insurance and also have the option of purchasing additional supplemental coverage.

A beneficiary is the person or people you choose to receive payment of your life insurance upon your death. Naming them establishes your plan as a legal contract – in fact, these beneficiaries are actually honored over whomever you've named in your will. Without naming them, your benefits may have to go through the court system, significantly delaying transferring funds to your loved ones.

To complete your enrollment, you must have a current beneficiary on file. You can change them at any time by accessing the beneficiary designation form through My Care Compass.

 Good to know

  • You can divide benefits among your beneficiaries however you choose – it doesn't have to be equal.
  • You're allowed to name a contingent beneficiary. That means, should your primary beneficiary die before you, your designated contingent beneficiaries would automatically get the primary's share.
  • Be sure to keep all your beneficiaries up-to-date on any plan changes due to a life-changing event like marriage or divorce.
