Weekly rates for the items below can be found in the benefits enrollment packet mailed to your home.
Basic and Additional Life
Basic Life Insurance benefits offer you a way to protect your family’s financial security in case of injury or death. The weekly cost is very inexpensive and the benefit is 1.5x your annual salary, up to a maximum of $50,000.
Employees may purchase Additional Life Insurance in $10,000 increments up to 7x your base salary, capped at $500,000. Be sure to review your allowed maximum, as you may be eligible to raise your current benefit amount if your salary has increased. An Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form will be required if you choose to raise your current Additional Life amount.
The benefit amount for Basic and Additional Life policies reduce to 65% of the policy amount at age 65, 40% at age 70, and 25% at age 75 or above.

If you elect Additional Life coverage for yourself, then you may purchase Dependent Life Insurance for your spouse and unmarried children (up to age 26) who are not already covered by a Discount Tire Life Insurance Policy.
NOTE: No dual coverage is allowed. Dependent Life Insurance (Spouse or unmarried Child) cannot be elected for dependents who are already covered by one of our Company Life Insurance policies (covered themselves as an employee or a dependent of another employee).
