Life insurance: Opportunity to enroll in up to $500,000 without answering health questions

MetLife will partner with the PEBB Program as the new life insurance carrier starting Jan. 1, 2017. During this transition, you can enroll in or increase your life insurance coverage during MetLife's special, one-time open enrollment opportunity from Nov.1-30.

What do I need to do?

 You have a special, one-time open enrollment opportunity to enroll in or increase your optional life insurance without answering health questions and/or having a medical exam.  Life insurance for you and your dependents is guaranteed up to certain amounts,even if you've been turned down before due to health reasons.

 If you currently have Dependent Basic Life Insurance for your spouse/state registered domestic partner and/or children, this coverage will not transfer to MetLife in 2017.You can obtain coverage for them by enrolling them in optional life insurance for 2017. Even if you don't enroll in or change your life and/or AD&D insurance, MetLife needs you to name your beneficiaries, as that information won't transfer from the current carrier.

 When?

 During MetLife's special, one-time open enrollment, Nov. 1-30.
