If you have a qualifying life event, such as a marriage, birth or adoption, you may be eligible to increase coverage without providing proof of good health.

  • Employees may increase their coverage by one level, up to a maximum of 3x base annual salary, or $200,000, whichever is less.
  • Employees may enroll a spouse and/or dependent(s) in dependent term life insurance.

Eligible employees who experience a qualifying life event during the plan year should contact Securian within 31 days of the change.

*Those who have been previously declined, selecting coverage greater than the guaranteed maximums listed above, and/or selecting coverage outside enrollment opportunities, will be required to provide proof of good health.
