Supplemental Group Life Insurance. Eligible Regular Nurses and eligible Relief Nurses may purchase Supplemental Group Life Insurance in accordance with the applicable plan provisions contained in the Staff Benefits Handbook and/or on file in the Benefits Office. New eligible Nurses are given the opportunity to enroll during orientation or when they are newly eligible for the benefit. If the eligible Nurse enrolls at that time, coverage becomes effective on the first (1st) day of the month following date of hire or change in status. If participation is refused at that time, the Nurse may enroll within thirty one (31) days of the date s/he is eligible for coverage. If the eligible Nurse wishes to enroll after the thirty-one (31) day period, a Statement of Physical Condition Form is required and must be approved by the insurance company. If approved, coverage begins on the date determined by the insurance company and appropriate payroll deductions will be made. Eligible Nurses may purchase up to six (6) times their annual base salary (to a maximum of $3,000,000 combined with basic life). Evidence of good health is required for amounts over three (3) times annual salary. After the initial thirty-one (31) day enrollment period, the Nurse may enroll or change supplemental life insurance at any time by completing a regular enrollment/change form and meeting all requirements for changing coverage including providing evidence of good health. If the Nurse has supplemental life insurance, he/she may purchase insurance for spouse and/or children subject to any insurance company requirements including evidence of good health.
