Life Insurance Coverage

 

Employees who retire into a City pension plan with at least ten years of continuous service are entitled to a City paid-up-for-life $6,000 policy. Employees in classes represented by DC 33 or DC 47 may have breaks in service of up to one year without affecting the ten-year continuous service requirement.

 

Active employees are entitled to group life and accident insurance coverage at the following levels:

 

Employee Group Coverage Amount
DC 33 and DC 47 classes $20,000
Non-Represented classes $15,000

 

Optional Life Insurance

 

Employees in DC 47 classes may purchase additional life insurance in an amount equal to their annual salary, rounded out to the next highest multiple of $500. (The first $20,000 of this coverage is provided without cost.) The employee pays 30% of the cost of the additional insurance; the City pays the remaining 70%.

 

Non-Represented employees may also purchase additional life insurance in varying amounts through the Flex Benefits Program using a payroll deduction. Upon retirement, an employee may continue to purchase supplemental life insurance at their own expense and without a physical examination if the employee converts this coverage within 31 days following their retirement.
