Supplemental Life Insurance

2024 Plan Information

Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurances

In addition to the Basic Life and Accidental, Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance the Firm provides at no cost to you, you may purchase Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurances for yourself, your spouse or domestic partner and your children up to age 26. Coverage for a spouse or domestic partner is available only if you elect Supplemental Life or AD&D coverage for yourself. You pay the full cost of these two insurances at group rates, and your contributions are deducted from your pay on an after-tax basis.
