ADDITIONAL PROTECTION

Life Insurance

Supplement your M&T-provided life and AD&D coverage. You may purchase additional coverage for yourself, your spouse or domestic partner and dependent children.

Invest in peace of mind

Designate a beneficiary

A beneficiary is a person, trust or estate receiving payouts from your life insurance, retirement accounts and other plans upon your death. You can change your beneficiary at any time in Workday.

Note: You must elect at least one primary beneficiary. If you elect spouse or domestic partner or dependent coverage, you are assumed to be the beneficiary. For details, review the Group Life Insurance Policy Description.

Add protection during Open Enrollment

During Open Enrollment, you can add/remove additional life/AD&D coverage for you and/or your family. If you are adding coverage for the first time, you may be required to submit EOI.

Your life/AD&D coverage carries over

No action is required to keep your current life/AD&D coverage. Your elections will carry over at the same coverage level with 2027 premiums. View premiums in Workday.

EOI may be required.

If Evidence of Insurability (EOI) is required, you’ll need to complete the health questionnaire in Workday. A physical examination may be requested by an authorized Unum representative if additional information is needed.
