THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE
What can your life insurance benefits do for you?

The State of Tennessee provides all employees with at least $20,000 in basic term life benefits. For many people, this is enough coverage to provide for final arrangements. However, the State also recognizes that the kind of life insurance you need can change according to your age and stage of life. That's why the State of Tennessee is giving you the chance to buy additional life insurance.

Optional Universal Life insurance can gain cash value over time, and you can pay the premiums through payroll deduction. It is also a plan you own as an individual and the rates vary by age. That means you can keep the coverage if you leave your job or retire. You can apply for this coverage without answering health questions.

Here is how it works:

  • You can apply for a benefit amount up to three times your salary.
  • The amount of coverage you can get without answering health questions is called "guaranteed issue."
  • You can apply for a higher benefit amount but you will be asked health questions. The limit for this is five times your salary. You can’t request more than $300,000.

1. Review your plan details

Your benefit booklet (CU-4629) is the place to start. Inside you will find:
