MetLife provides life insurance to provide security for your family.

Basic Life Insurance

Citi provides Basic Life insurance through MetLife at no cost to you if your benefits eligible pay is less than $200,000. Note: If your annual benefits eligible pay is equal to or above $200,000, you are not eligible for company-paid Basic Life insurance.

For more information on Basic Life insurance, refer to the Benefits Handbook.

Designate Your Beneficiaries

It's important to designate a beneficiary to receive the benefit paid by a life insurance policy. You can designate a beneficiary by visiting Your Benefits Resources™ through My Total Compensation and Benefits.

Basic Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D)

Citi provides Basic AD&D insurance if you are dismembered or die as a result of an accidental injury. Basic AD&D is provided through MetLife at no cost to you if your benefits eligible pay is less than $200,000. Note: If your annual benefits eligible pay is equal to or above $200,000, you are not eligible for company-paid Basic AD&D insurance.

The benefit is equal to your benefits eligible pay, rounded up to the nearest $1,000, to a maximum of $200,000.

Group Universal Life

You can enroll in Group Universal Life (GUL) insurance, provided by MetLife, from one to 10 times your benefits eligible pay, not to exceed $500,000, up to a maximum of $5 million.

Note: If you are enrolling in GUL insurance outside your initial eligibility period (31 days from your date of hire/date you are eligible to enroll in Citi benefits), outside of a qualified change in status or for an amount greater than three times your benefits eligible pay (capped at $500,000) or $1.5 million, you must provide evidence of insurability and be actively at work before coverage will be effective.

For purposes of GUL coverage, a qualified change in status includes when an employee loses eligibility for employer paid Basic Life Insurance because his or her benefits eligible pay equals or exceeds $200,000 in connection with annual enrollment in the next plan year. Such an employee is eligible to elect GUL coverage of one time his or her benefits eligible pay, not to exceed $500,000 without providing evidence of insurability if the employee did not previously elect the maximum GUL benefit.

Your cost of coverage is based on the amount of coverage you elect, your age and whether you have used tobacco products in the past 12 months. Note: If your benefits eligible pay is not an even multiple of $1,000, then your GUL coverage will be rounded up to the next $1,000.
