The Optional Spouse/Same Sex Spousal Equivalent Insurance will allow you to purchase between $25,000 and $100,000 in life insurance for your spouse/same-sex spousal equivalent. Elections can be made in increments of $25,000 and are limited to 100 percent of your basic and supplemental life insurance combined.

During the guarantee issue period, you may select $25,000 without evidence of insurability. Any amount above $25,000 will require evidence of insurability. The rates for Optional Spouse/Same-Sex Spousal Equivalent Insurance are based on the spouse's age, and follow the same rate schedule as the employee Supplemental Life Plan. Please refer to the age rated table for the Supplemental Life Rates.

If you are eligible and would like to enroll, complete a Benefits Enrollment Form and return it to HRM/Benefits at 250 Columbus Place. If you are selecting any amount above $25,000, you must also submit an Evidence of Insurability Form. This form must be submitted along with the Benefits Enrollment Form.
