This program offers different types of coverage to meet your needs. How much you are covered is based on the number of units of coverage you buy.
|
1 unit = |
your pay of the prior calendar year rounded up to the next higher $1,000. (For the first year of coverage your employer will estimate your pay.) |
|---|---|
| Example: | $43,500 pay = $44,000 coverage |
On January 1 of each following year, your insurance coverage amount will increase as your pay increases. If your pay decreases, your insurance coverage will not decrease unless you ask for a reduction of insurance in writing.
