  1. Employee currently has $50,000 in voluntary life and elects to increase to 60,000. This change does not require Statement of Health.
  2. Employee has the guaranteed issue of $100,000 and wants to increase to $110,000.  A Statement of Health is required because coverage exceeds the guaranteed issue amount.
  3. Employee wants to increase more than one $10,000 increment.  Statement of Health is required even if employee鈥檚 current coverage is below the guaranteed issue.  For instance, employee has $20,000 and wants $100,000.  Since they are electing more than one 1 increment of 10k Statement of Health is required. 
  4. Employees without current supplemental coverage wishing to enroll in supplemental coverage(s) during Annual Enrollment periods must complete Statement of Health to newly elect any amount.
