Our Group Term Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance program offers many combinations of coverage options to meet both Employer and Employees’ insurance needs. Employers can elect to purchase basic coverage for their employees, such as a multiple of salary benefit or a flat amount. They can also offer a Voluntary plan where employees choose the benefit amount they wish to purchase, often without needing to provide evidence of good health. These products may be offered together or on a stand-alone basis.
Standard Life Provisions:

- Competitive Plan Maximums
