When an employee moves into an eligible classification, enrollment in the State-paid basic life insurance is automatic. Once the deduction code is established, the carrier (MetLife) will mail a packet of information to each newly enrolled employee.
Eligible employees can apply for supplemental life insurance anytime by calling MetLife at 1-800-252-8524. They will answer questions and send you an application upon request.
If an employee does not want this State-paid benefit, the employee must complete a Life Insurance Enrollment Authorization Form 698 to cancel the basic life insurance coverage.
