VOLUNTARY LIFE INSURANCE
McKibbon Hospitality offers employees the option to purchase voluntary life insurance. This coverage is through United Healthcare.
WHAT’S GUARANTEE ISSUE?
Guarantee Issue (GI) is the amount you can purchase as a newly eligible employee without having to provide evidence of good heath (Evidence of Insurability (EOI)). The GI is $100,000 or 5x your annual salary, whichever is less.
WHEN WOULD I NEED TO SHOW EVIDENCE OF GOOD HEALTH TO GET LIFE INSURANCE?
If you elect a benefit over GI as a new hire, a benefit outside of your newly eligible period, or an increase to your current benefit you will be required to provide Evidence of Insurability (EOI). Completed EOIs should be submitted to United Healthcare directly. The fax number is listed on the form. A copy of the EOI form can be found within the library of the Benefits Portal.
HOW MUCH LIFE INSURANCE CAN I PURCHASE?
You may purchase a benefit in increments of $10,000 for as little as $10,000 and as much as $500,000, or 5x your annual salary (whichever is less).
