Beneficiary
Remember to keep your beneficiary updated for both the basic and supplemental life insurance, which can be done anytime throughout the year. If you are married and living in a community property state, your insurance carrier may require that you designate your spouse (or in some cases a registered domestic partner) for at least 50% of the benefit unless you have a waiver notice on file from your spouse. Consult your legal or tax advisor for further guidance on this issue. The beneficiary can be different between the basic and supplemental life insurance.

Voluntary Short-Term Disability Insurance
This benefit covers 60% of your weekly base salary up to $1,200/week. The benefit begins after 7 days of injury or illness and lasts up to 12 weeks. Please see the summary plan description for complete plan details.
Short-Term Disability Premium Calculation Example:
Let’s assume an annual base salary of $30,000 for a 35-year-old employee as of 10/1.
1. $30,000 / 52 weeks = $576.92 weekly salary
2. $576.92 * .60 = $346.15 weekly benefit
Note: if your weekly benefit is more than the $1,200 weekly benefit maximum, use $1,200 to continue the calculations in step 3.
3. $346.15 / 10 (rate calculated based on $10 of weekly benefit) = $34.62
4. $34.62 x $0.0669 (age 35 weekly rate per chart) = $2.32 cost per week
