Your 2027 Biweekly Benefit Deductions – Supplemental Life Insurance

For You and Your Spouse

Supplemental Life Insurance costs for you and your spouse are based on the amount of coverage you select as well as your age and your spouse’s age.

Age	Biweekly Rate Per $1,000 for You	Biweekly Rate Per $1,000 for Your Spouse
Less than 25	$0.013	$0.021
25–29	$0.016	$0.025

65–69	$0.339	$0.528
70+	$0.551	$0.856

To figure out your costs for your coverage amount:

Amount of insurance desired ÷ $1,000 = Units of coverage
Units of coverage times cost = Biweekly cost

Here’s an example. You are 35 years old and want to elect $100,000 in Supplemental Life Insurance coverage for yourself only.

$100,000 ÷ $1,000 = 100
100 x $0.023 = $2.30 biweekly deduction (you will pay this amount each pay period)

For Your Children (up to age 26)

You pay one rate that covers all of your eligible children.

Coverage Amount	Biweekly Cost
$5,000	$0.16
$10,000	$0.32
$15,000	$0.48
$20,000	$0.65
