The Basics

How group life and AD&D coverage works.

Group life insurance provides a death benefit to an employee’s beneficiaries, often set at a flat amount or a multiple of salary. Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) adds a benefit for covered accidents resulting in death or serious injury.

Many employers provide a base amount of coverage at no cost to employees, with options for employees to purchase additional voluntary coverage for themselves or dependents.
