If you are a newly eligible employee, you may elect Employee Life Insurance at one (1) times through ten (10) times your Benefit Salary, up to a maximum of $2,000,000.  If you apply for an amount of insurance in excess of (1) times your pay or $200,000, you will be subject to medical underwriting. If you are age 65 or older, the value of your life coverage is reduced.

Important Notes about Employee, Spouse, and Child Life Insurance

• The life insurance amounts you choose will be based on your Benefit Salary as of October 1 each year . This amount is rounded up to the next higher $1,000, after you multiply your coverage and the premium has been adjusted for your October 1 pay and age.
• If your coverage selection requires medical underwriting, you will need to complete the MetLife Evidence of Insurability Form along with any other required information. An approval by MetLife, the insurance carrier, must be made before coverage can be in effect.
• Be sure to designate your beneficiaries by accessing the GaBreeze web site
