To protect your family, WSI offers these benefits through MetLife:

  • Basic Life
  • Supplemental Life
  • Basic AD&D

Life Insurance

Life insurance pays a benefit if you or a covered family member dies.

  • WSI pays 100% of the cost for Basic Life insurance for you (1 times your base earnings, up to a $1 million maximum).
  • You can purchase Supplemental Life for yourself, your spouse/domestic partner and/or children.
  • You pay the full cost of any Supplemental Life insurance you purchase through after-tax payroll deduction. Rates for yourself and your spouse/domestic partner will vary based on age. You will be able to see your cost when you enroll. You may be required to complete Evidence of Insurability (EOI) before your election becomes effective.
  • An age reduction schedule will apply starting at age 70 and also at age 75. Please contact MetLife for further details.

AD&D Insurance

AD&D pays a benefit if you die or suffer a serious injury due to an accident. WSI pays 100% of the cost for Basic AD&D for you (1 times your base earnings, up to a $1 million maximum).
