Life / AD&D Insurance
BASIC LIFE INSURANCE AND AD&D
The City of Somerton pays 100% of the cost of this MetLife Group Term Life Insurance Plan. $50,000 of Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage for each benefit eligible employee is provided by the district. Life insurance provides protection for those who depend on you financially. Your need varies greatly due to age, number of dependents, dependent ages and your financial situation. Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) benefits provide a benefit to you or your beneficiary if you are seriously injured or die in an accident.
