Employee Supplemental Life Insurance in the amount of $25,000, may be purchased at a current cost of $9.25 per month. Both coverages are insured through Standard Life Insurance Company and double their face value in the event of death as a result of a covered accident while you are an active employee. In addition, both coverages include some coverage for accidental dismemberment. Upon retirement, Basic Life and Employee Supplemental Life Insurance coverages are reduced by 50% and the accidental provision no longer applies. Certain disabled employees may remain covered by former our life carrier (Greater Georgia Life Insurance Company) as a result of that carrier approving them for "Waiver of Premium".
Clayton County also provides Dependent Life Insurance coverage that enables you to cover your eligible dependents (legal spouse and dependent children - age 15 days - 19 years or 24 years, if a full-time student). Dependent Life Insurance in the amount of $3,000, $5,000, $6,000 or $11,000 coverage may be purchased on your dependents.

LONG
TERM DISABILITY (available only to
Active employees) - Clayton County offers a Voluntary Disability Policy, insured through The Hartford Insurance Company. Like the other County coverages, you must be employed as a full-time employee for 3 months before this coverage can go into effect. This policy permits you to purchase protection in the event that you are disabled from working. The policy requires that you must be disabled for 3 months and have exhausted all full-pay benefits available to you from the County before receiving benefits from this plan. You may purchase protection of $500 (minimum) per month or you may purchase up to approximately 60% of your monthly earnings. The policy contains a "pre-existing condition clause" that you should read carefully to assure complete understanding. The cost of this protection varies based upon the amount of monthly coverage purchased and your age. The cost will increase the year that you move into another age bracket. Please review all information about this coverage as this benefit could mean the difference in whether or not you could be financially secure in the event of your disability. The premiums for this coverage are paid with after-tax deductions. Also, please be aware that if you are already participating in this plan and have enjoyed salary increases, you may now be eligible for more coverage than you are currently purchasing. You may wish to increase the amount of this protection during the Annual Open Enrollment period by completing a new LTD Application form, requesting the increased amount of coverage.
