You may purchase voluntary life/AD&D insurance for yourself and your dependents. New York Life Group Benefit Solutions (NYL GBS) administers the plan.
How It Works
Voluntary life/AD&D insurance provides additional financial protection for you and your eligible dependents if you die or suffer a serious injury. You pay the full cost of coverage through after-tax payroll deductions.
If you enroll in voluntary life/AD&D within 31 days from your date of hire, you may purchase up to the guaranteed issue amounts and not be required to provide evidence of insurability (EOI). If you don’t enroll when you are initially eligible, or you purchase coverage above the guaranteed issue amounts, you will be required to complete an Evidence of Insurability Form and return it to the Stimson Benefits Department.
Your cost for coverage depends on your age and the amount of insurance you purchase. Review the Voluntary Life/AD&D Premiums.

| When Coverage Begins | If you enroll within 31 days from your date of hire and purchase the guaranteed issue amount, coverage takes effect the first of the month following your hire date. Otherwise, coverage takes effect once your Evidence of Insurability (EOI) application is approved by New York Life Group Benefit Solutions. | |
