Voluntary Accident insurance coverage from voya
Accident Insurance pays a set benefit amount based on the type of injury you have and the type of treatment you need. It covers accidents that occur off the job. And it includes a range of incidents, from common injuries to more serious events.
Accident Insurance Benefit Overview
Accident insurance provides benefits to help pay for unexpected costs following an accident. Benefits are paid directly to you and may be used in any way you and your family choose.
For example, if your child broke their leg while riding a bike, accident benefits would be paid directly to you even if your health plan covered part or all of the expenses. Children are eligible for coverage up to their 26th birthday. Disabled child(ren) enrolled in the plan prior to their 26th birthday may remain on the plan after the age of 26.

Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance
Basic Life Insurance
Arcwood Environmental provides a basic life insurance benefit of one times your base salary (up to a maximum of $1,000,000) for benefits eligible employees. The policy also includes an AD&D benefit payable for accidental death or loss of limb.
Supplemental Life Insurance
Supplemental life insurance can bridge the shortfall in basic coverage and provide added financial protection for your loved ones if you should die. You may purchase additional life insurance coverage for yourself at one of three levels: one, two or three times your annual base salary. The cost of this coverage is based upon your age and pay. The maximum guaranteed supplemental life coverage amount is $500,000.
Basic Life & Supplemental Life Insurance: Voya Plan Highlights
If your annual base salary (one, two or three times level) exceeds $500,000 and you’re interested in purchasing the extra coverage above this guaranteed limit, proof of good health is required. Your combined coverage — basic life (company-paid) and supplemental life — cannot exceed a maximum of $1,500,000.
Employees age 65 or older, your employer-paid basic life and employee-paid supplemental life benefit will be reduced by 35% for ages 65–69 and 50% for ages 70+.
If you choose not to select supplemental life for yourself as a new hire and want to select it during open enrollment, or if you experience a qualifying life event, proof of good health (EOI - Evidence of Insurability) will be required for your enrollment.

This supplemental life insurance provides extra protection to cover the life of your spouse or domestic partner. You must elect coverage for yourself in order to elect coverage for your spouse or domestic partner. The cost of this plan is based upon the employee’s age.
If you’re interested in purchasing this coverage, you may elect up to 100% of your supplemental life insurance amount up to a maximum benefit of $500,000. You are not eligible for this benefit if your spouse is also an employee of the company. Evidence of Insurability will be required to gain coverage for spouses enrolling outside of their initial eligibility window.
The rates you pay for supplemental life insurance for yourself are based on your age and salary. The rate you pay for your spouse/domestic partner are based on 50% of your elected amount. If you receive a base pay change or change age bands due to a birthday, your premium will increase in the pay period following the age or pay change.
To calculate your monthly premium, find the employee age below. Divide your life insurance value by 1,000 and then multiply it by the rate from the table below. Premiums must be calculated individually for each covered individual.
For example: for a 50-year-old employee
Let's assume Insurance Value = $50,000
Monthly Rate per $1,000 of Coverage = .34 (referred from table)
Therefore, Cost for Supplemental Life Insurance will be
(Insurance Value/ 1000) x Monthly Rate = ($50,000 / 1000) x .34 = $17.00 per month rate
Age | Monthly Rate per $1,000 of Coverage | |
Below 24 | .09 | |

25-29 | .09 | |
30-34 | .11 | |
35-39 | .13 | |
