Voluntary Life Insurance Coverage


        TNJH offers you the option to purchase voluntary life insurance for yourself, your spouse, and dependent child(ren) through Cigna. You
        must elect coverage for yourself in order to elect coverage for your spouse and/or children. You pay 100% of the cost for the coverage
        which will be deducted from your paycheck on a post-tax basis. If you wish to apply for voluntary term life, or increase your current

        coverage, an Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form will be required. Coverage applied for is not effective until the EOI is received and the
        coverage amount is approved by Cigna.

        For Yourself – You can purchase increments of $10,000 up to the lesser of 5x your annual salary or $500,000.

        For Your Spouse – You can purchase increments of $5,000 to the lesser of 100% of your employee life election or $125,000.
        For Your Children – You can purchase $4,000 for your child(ren) up to age 23 or 25 if a full-time student. The benefit amount for
        children at least 14 days and less than 6 months of age is $1,000.


        Voluntary Long Term Disability Insurance Coverage

        The voluntary long-term disability plan is designed with benefits beginning after a 180-day “elimination period.” Your monthly  benefit
        options are 50%, 40% or 25% of your monthly earnings to a maximum benefit of $5,000. If you wish to apply for Voluntary
        LTD coverage, an Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form will be required. Coverage applied for is not effective until the EOI is received
        and the coverage amount is approved by Cigna. Pre-existing conditions that lead to a disability that begins during the first 12  months

        of coverage will not be covered. Your payroll deductions are made post tax, so any benefit you receive will not be considered taxable
        income.
