Life insurance helps protect the ones you love should something unexpectedly happen to you. However, preparation doesn’t end there. Injury or illness can lead to significant long-term care expenses, potentially affecting your savings. SMP offers an employee-paid voluntary benefit that gives you two benefits in one policy. Permanent Life Insurance + Long Term Care includes:
Permanent Life Insurance
Long Term Care (LTC)
Your rates are based on your age at the time your coverage begins and will never increase as long as you own the policy. If you apply for coverage, your spouse is eligible to apply and has access to the same discounted, group premiums. New hires and eligible employees not currently enrolled may elect Permanent Life Insurance + Long Term care benefit through AGIS during an enrollment window in April.

Voluntary Benefits in 2026
Beginning on January 1, 2026, SMP will transition administration of Life & AD&D, Disability and Leaves, and Voluntary STD from Reliance Matrix to The Standard.
If you’re enrolled in an SMP medical plan, Anthem will proactively review your medical claims to identify when a voluntary benefit may apply. You will receive a notification so you can quickly file a claim and receive payment. If you are not enrolled in an SMP medical plan, your claims are not connected to Anthem, so you’ll need to submit a claim form directly in order to receive payment.
