Eligibility Requirements


You must be enrolled in SAMBA's Group Term Life Insurance Plan. Evidence of insurability is required.

Benefits offered by the Plan:


Term Life Insurance: This program offers Group Term Life Insurance benefits for eligible dependents, including your spouse and unmarried eligible children under the age of 22.

Accelerated Death Benefit: If your spouse has a Terminal Medical Condition (explain), this feature allows him or her to use up to 75% of the Dependent Group Term Life insurance amount, up to $250,000 to help with medical expenses or put your financial affairs in order.

Survivor Benefit: Your dependents are eligible to continue their coverage in the event of your death.

How benefits and rates are determined


The amount of coverage for which your dependents may be enrolled depends on your current GS level. (See chart below).

Your Gateway to Additional Coverage


If you are enrolled in the Dependent Group Term Life Insurance Plan, you are qualified to apply for additional coverage under SAMBA's Supplemental Group Term Life Insurance.

Your coverage can continue when you retire


If you continue your own Group Term Life Insurance into retirement, you may also continue coverage for your family into retirement. Family coverage will be linked to the Group Term life plan option you select for retirement. (See chart below).

Beyond Age 70: The Dependent Group Term Life Insurance plan coverage ends at age 70. If you wish to continue coverage, SAMBA has made arrangements for you to purchase up to $5,000 of insurance coverage under another policy.
