Accident Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Options

The Flexible Benefits Program offers accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance to be paid to you or your beneficiary if your injury or death is the result of a covered accident. In case of the permanent and total disability benefit under AD&D, you are eligible for the benefit if your injury prevents you from working at any job for which you are qualified by education, training, or experience.

You may elect 1x – 10x (one to ten times) your pay to a maximum benefit of $2,000,000

Important Notes about Employee, Spouse, Child Life and AD&D Insurance

The life and AD&D insurance amounts you choose will be based on your Benefit Salary as of October 1. This amount is rounded up to the next higher $1,000, after you multiply your coverage and adjust for age reductions.

If your coverage selection requires medical underwriting, you will need to complete the online MetLife Evidence of Insurability Form along with any other required information. An approval by MetLife must be made before coverage can be in effect.

Be sure to designate your beneficiaries by accessing the GaBreeze web site or calling the GaBreeze Benefits Center. Also, you can change and update your beneficiaries at any time.

Please be advised

No paper Statement of Health form will be mailed for the employee and/or the spouse to complete. An online pre-registration process will need to be completed for a spouse requiring medical underwriting before the Statement of Health form will be available online.

Life Insurance FAQs

While having life insurance provided by your employer is a great benefit, it’s possible that it may not be enough to adequately provide for your family. Additional life insurance can give your family greater financial security if you are no longer here to earn a paycheck.

Everyone is different, but you may need more than you have now. The insurance you need changes as your life changes — for example, getting married, starting a family or buying a home might change the coverage you need. Many people are surprised to learn that they don’t have enough life insurance to cover the many expenses their loved ones may face.

It’s simple to determine the amount of coverage you need now:
