State Group Life Insurance premium and coverage levels are based on:
-
- An employee’s highest calendar year of eligible earnings
- An employee’s age as of April 1 each year
- The coverage level the employee has elected
Employees who have changed age categories, or have had a salary change since April 1, 2019, will have a premium change effective April 1, 2020.
