*If a company selects a basic life insurance option based on a salary multiplier, the rate calculation will be based on each worksite employee's Base Annual Earnings, which are calculated once per year. In addition, coverage automatically reduces at ages 65 (to 65%) and 70 (to 50%). 

**If a worksite employee does not elect supplemental life coverage when first benefits eligible, the worksite employee, spouse or domestic partner is subject to Statement of Health requirements and life insurance coverage will not be effective until approved by the insurance carrier. If the worksite employee elects to increase coverage they may be subject to Statement of Health requirements and, if so, the additional coverage elected will not be effective until approved by the insurance carrier.
