View additional information from The Standard

Basic Life Insurance

If you participate in a State of Nevada PEBP–sponsored medical plan (e.g. PPO or HMO) or Medicare Exchange plan (e.g. OneExchange), the State provides you with Life insurance to help protect your loved ones in the event of your death. For retired members, the Basic plan is $12,500 of Life insurance coverage.

Voluntary Life Insurance

Because everyone's needs are different you also have the option to purchase Voluntary Life insurance at group rates. Voluntary Life coverage is available in multiples of $5,000, up to a maximum of $50,000.

Voluntary Life premiums for enrolled PEBP retired members are calculated based on the amount of coverage elected and the member's age as of each July 1, regardless of the amount of insurance elected.

Remember to Update Your Beneficiary

As a reminder, The Standard maintains all Life insurance beneficiary designations, including designations for Basic and Voluntary Life insurance. If you want to designate or update your beneficiary(ies), please complete the Beneficiary Designation and Change Form and return it to the address listed on the form.
