Company-paid basic life insurance and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) MAA provides eligible associates with Basic Life* and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance through Lincoln Financial Group at no cost to you. As a new associate, your coverage begins on the first of the month on or after 90 calendar days of employment and is equal to 1x your annual base salary, rounded to the next $1,000 with a minimum of $50,000 and maximum of $500,000. *You must designate at least one beneficiary for your Basic Life insurance in Workday. However, you may also designate a beneficiary for your coverage under the Basic AD&D, Optional Employee Life and Optional Employee AD&D plans. You may change your beneficiary designation(s) at any time in Workday. Important tax information The IRS requires that you be taxed on the value of employer-provided group term life insurance for coverage over $50,000. The taxable value of this life insurance coverage is considered imputed income. Although you don’t receive cash, you are taxed as if you received cash in an amount equal to the value of the coverage. You will see the group term life tax accounted for on your biweekly paycheck. Employee-paid optional, spouse, and child life insurance You can elect additional life insurance coverage for yourself and your eligible dependents under the Optional Life Insurance Plan through Lincoln Financial Group. However, in order to elect coverage for your eligible dependents, you must elect additional coverage for yourself. Coverage options, along with the plan features and rates, are summarized in the tables below and at the top of page 25. Evidence of Insurability (EOI), or medical underwriting, may be required in certain situations, as indicated in the chart below. If EOI is required after you submit your enrollment for Optional Life coverage, you will receive a To Do task in your inbox in Workday with instructions for completing the EOI process through Lincoln Financial Group.
