* Annual base pay is defined as of Oct. 1 of the previous year. If you are not actively at work on Jan. 1 of the current plan year, any change in life insurance coverage due to annual earnings increase will not take effect until you return to work in the plan year.

Each enrollment thereafter, it is recalculated for the new plan year using your annual earnings as of Oct. 1 of the prior year.

Within 31 days of initial eligibility (new hire, new spouse and/or child)
Employee: Elect up to the lesser of three times your annual base pay or $1,000,000
Spouse: Elect up to $50,000

Once your coverage is effective, you never have to re-enroll to continue your coverage(s). EOI is required if you enroll after your initial enrollment period.
