Basic life and AD&D insurance

The SEBB Program's full employee benefits package includes basic life and basic AD&D insurance.

Basic life insurance covers you and pays your designated beneficiaries in the event of your death. Basic AD&D insurance provides extra benefits for certain injuries or death resulting from a covered accident.

You will be automatically enrolled in these benefits, even if you waive medical coverage. You do not need to provide evidence of insurability (proof of good health).

These benefits provide:

• $35,000 for basic life insurance.
  $5,000 for basic AD&D insurance.

Supplemental life and AD&D insurance

You may enroll in supplemental life insurance and supplemental AD&D insurance for yourself and your dependents.
