You have the option to purchase additional life insurance for you and your family. This is provided through Standard Insurance Company in conjunction with KPERS. When you enroll in this benefit, you pay the full cost through monthly payroll deductions.
If you are a new employee, you have 30 days after your hire date to apply for up to $50,000 in coverage without medical certification. After that, you can apply to increase the value of your insurance at any time, but all applications are subject to medical review.
