Supplemental Life Insurance Information

CBIA Health Connections and The Hartford have developed a special supplemental life insurance program that lets employees of member companies elect up to $100,000 in additional coverage.

This supplemental life insurance coverage has great pricing and is 100% employee-paid through after-tax payroll deduction. Your clients still get the convenience of one bill and one place to call for service.

How to enroll:

• View plan details here.
• Employers must complete this enrollment form to add the supplemental life benefit.
• Employers can download and distribute this Employee Highlight Sheet/Enrollment Form to employees.
• For new groups, simply check the Supplement Life box on the CBIA Health Connections Participation Agreement.
• For existing groups evidence of insurability (EOI) is required. Each applicant must complete the Personal Health Application (PHA) for EOI.

Additional Details for Employers

• Eligible active employees enrolling in the supplemental life insurance benefit must already be enrolled in a CBIA Health Connections basic life insurance benefit.
• New hires, in their initial eligibility period, will be eligible to elect supplemental life insurance coverage at the same time they enroll for your existing group basic life coverage without evidence of insurability.
• If a current employee requests to enroll, The Hartford will require evidence of insurability to determine if coverage can be approved.
• If a participating employee would like to increase their supplemental life benefit at renewal, EOI is required. If they wish to decrease their benefit, this may be done at renewal with no EOI.
• Each employee must complete a supplemental life insurance enrollment form and choose a benefit of $10,000; $25,000; $50,000; $75,000 or $100,000.
• This benefit is "convertible" or "portable" depending on age at termination. If an employee's employment terminates, they may have the option to convert or port their supplemental life insurance benefit. View supplemental life portability rates here.
• Supplemental life insurance has a two year minimum table rate guarantee from the group's effective date of this benefit. Rates are based on age brackets; individual rates may change based on age once per year.
• Supplemental life insurance is an employee-paid benefit, paid through employee after-tax payroll deductions and will be added to your CBIA monthly bill. Please review your bill thoroughly as it will reflect all enrollment received and processed by CBIA Service Corp.
