Life Insurance
Intact provides basic life insurance and you may purchase optional life insurance for yourself and your dependents. Life insurance coverage is provided by Voya Financial.
The Basic Life Insurance benefit of one times your salary (to a maximum of $500,000) is provided to you by Intact.
Optional Life Insurance can be purchased in multiples of your salary, from one time to six times your salary. Optional life insurance rates are determined by your age and tobacco use status. When you log in to your Benefitfocus account you can review the costs for each available level of coverage and may also estimate your cost with thes rate tables below.
Life insurance benefits are provided based on your base pay as of October 1. If your pay increases during the year, your life insurance coverage is not adjusted until the following year. Intact uses smoker and non-smoker rates for life insurance. By indicating that you are a non-smoker during enrollment you certify that you have not used a tobacco product (cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco) in the last 12 months.
Dependent Life Insurance is also available through Voya Financial. You may purchase $25,000, $50,000 or $100,000 of coverage for your spouse, and $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 for child(ren) up to age 26.
You may elect up to the guaranteed issue amount as a new hire without going through the Evidence of Insurability process.
Depending on the amount of optional life insurance coverage you choose, you may need to provide satisfactory Evidence of Insurability.
Group Term Life
Important Note: Employees earning more than $50,000 have imputed income on the value of the employer-provided life insurance. That means that in each biweekly pay, an amount equal to the value of the benefit in excess of $50K will be added. This will appear on your biweekly paycheck as Group Term Life as both an earning and a deduction. You will then be taxed on this amount.
{[Amount of Coverage (annual salary as of October of prior year) - 50,000]/1,000} x rate x 12 / 26 = Biweekly Taxable Amount

Coverages may be underwritten by one of the following insurance companies: Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company, a New York insurer; Homeland Insurance Company of New York, a New York insurer; Homeland Insurance Company of Delaware, a Delaware insurer; OBI America Insurance Company, a Pennsylvania insurer; or OBI National Insurance Company, a Pennsylvania insurer. Each of these insurers maintains its principal place of business at 605 Highway 169 N, Plymouth, MN 55441. This material is intended as a general description of certain types of insurance coverages and services. Coverages and availability vary by state; exclusions and deductibles may apply. Please refer to your insurance policy or consult with your independent insurance advisor for information about coverages, terms and conditions. Some coverage may be written by a surplus lines insurer through a licensed surplus lines broker. Surplus lines insurers do not generally participate in state guaranty funds and insureds are therefore not protected by such funds.
