Active Group Life Insurance Benefit
State agencies and public school districts are required to provide group life insurance coverage to employees. The coverage is optional for other employers. If an employer provides group life insurance coverage to its employees, the employer must pay for the coverage.

If your employer is covered and you die in service with at least one full year of Retirement Systems membership, a payment equal to your current annual earnable compensation will be paid to your designated beneficiary or trustee. If your death results from a job-related injury, the one-year requirement is waived. Group life insurance is considered life insurance and is not taxable.
