Life Insurance

Life insurance offers you and your family important financial protection. Spelman provides a basic life insurance plan for eligible employees.

 

Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance provides protection in cases of serious injury or death resulting from an accident. AD&D insurance coverage is provided as part of the basic life insurance plan.

 

Employees in the following employment classifications are eligible to participate in the life insurance plan:

 

ü       Regular full-time employees

 

Eligible employees may participate in the life insurance plan subject to all terms and conditions of the agreement between Spelman and the insurance carrier.

 

Our current plan provides 1 1/2 times base salary to beneficiaries upon death of a covered employee. Upon retirement (10 years of service and at least age 65) the benefits are reduced on a graduated scale as follows:

 

Age                              Amount

Less than 65                  None

65 < 70                        $8,250.00

70 < 75                        $7,500.00

75 and over                $6,500.00

 

Details of the basic life insurance plan including benefit amounts are described in the Summary Plan Description provided to eligible employees. Contact the Office of Human Resources for more information about life insurance benefits.
