Life Insurance

My Favorites

Life insurance through Reliance Matrix offers peace of mind by providing financial protection to your loved ones in case of your death.

If you have family members who depend on you for financial support, this benefit can protect them and help them through an otherwise difficult time of loss.

We provide basic life and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance coverage of 1.5 times your base salary, up to a maximum of $1,000,000, at no cost to you. With AD&D, a percentage of your benefit is payable to you in case of a severe injury as a result of a covered accident. The percent of benefit depends on the severity of the injury. These benefits reduce by 25% at age 70 and 50% at age 75.

You may buy more life insurance coverage through payroll deductions. If you buy coverage for yourself, you may also buy coverage for your dependents (if applicable).

Choose one of these options:

  • Flat $50,000
  • If you elect 1x your base salary: 50% of your life insurance benefit
  • If you elect 2x your base salary
    • Option 1: 25% of your life insurance benefit
    • Option 2: 50% of your life insurance benefit not to exceed $250,000

The Guaranteed Issue amount is $50,000.

Elect $10,000 for children between age 6 months and age 19 (26 if full-time student). A reduced benefit is payable for children less than six months old

If your life and AD&D coverage ends because your employment is terminated or membership in an eligible class is terminated, you can convert to an individual policy. You must apply for the conversion policy and pay the first premium payment within 31 days after your group coverage ends.

Evidence of Insurability

Evidence of Insurability (EOI) is a medical questionnaire to decide whether an applicant will be approved for coverage. If enrolling in supplemental life coverage, Reliance Matrix may need EOI before some or all of your coverage is effective.

You will have to answer health questions if:

  1. You don’t elect coverage when it’s first available to you and you want to elect at a later date;
  2. You request an amount higher than the Guaranteed Issue amount; or
  3. You want to increase coverage at a later date.
