1 Life Insurance Guide Basic Life and AD&D Insurance: Company paid Choose between these coverage amounts during your enrollment 1.5 X base salary 50,000 Why the choice in Basic coverage? The value of group life insurance over 50,000 in total coverage is taxable to you (including Basic and Additional coverage.) This value is determined from IRS tables (not from the actual premium paid) and is required by federal tax law. The taxable amount is added to your income and you must pay the taxes on this additional amount. A Life Insurance Tax Calculator is available on appvion.com to determine the amount that will be added to your income to be taxed. Double payment for death due to accident AD&D means Accidental Death and Dismemberment. If you were to elect total coverage of 100,000 and you were to die of natural causes or illness, the insurance company would pay your designated beneficiary 100,000 income tax free. This is your life insurance benefit. However, if your death were the result of an accident, then the insurance company would also pay your beneficiary an accidental death benefit income tax free. 100,000 (for life insurance) 100,000 (for accidental death insurance) 200,000 Total Income-Tax-Free Benefit Travel Accident Life Insurance: Company paid 2 X base salary in coverage for work-related travel This benefit is provided automatically by the company, there s no need to enroll. For frequent travelers, such as executives and field sales and tech reps, this benefit is paid if death or dismemberment occurs due to a travel accident regardless of the nature of the trip. The benefit would pay to your beneficiary in addition to the Basic coverage described above. Additional, Spouse and Child Life Insurance: Employee paid Supplemental Accidental Death & Dismemberment: Employee paid For options available to you, please reference the attached flyers.
