Lockheed Martin, like other major companies, offers a variety of employee benefits. One benefit that all eligible employees there have is group life insurance. Let’s talk about how it works and if it’s enough for your specific situation.
- What is group term life insurance? By definition, group term life insurance is a type of term insurance in which one contract is issued to cover multiple people. At Lockheed Martin, it’s a benefit automatically provided to eligible employees and it’s also a benefit the employees can elect to enhance if they so choose.
- How much coverage does it provide? Each eligible employee is provided a group policy from which they can choose the following coverage options: $15k, $50k, 1x annual base salary, 1.5x annual base salary or 2x annual base salary.
- How much does it cost? This is the best part! Lockheed Martin pays the premium for coverage up to 2x your annual base salary. It is important to note that your age will determine the amount you are credited. To learn more, you can call the Lockheed Martin Employee Service Center (LMESC) at 866-562-2363.
- When is sign-up? You can sign up for the coverage within 30 days of becoming eligible, at open enrollment, or when there is a qualifying event. See your Service Plan Description for more details.
- Is there a medical exam? If you sign up for coverage of 2x annual base salary or less when you’re first eligible, then typically, no, there is no medical exam or underwriting. However, it is important to note, that if you increase your coverage beyond that then you may be required to show proof of insurability.
