Life and Disability Insurance

Basic Life/AD&D Insurance

Nidec offers company paid life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance. This coverage offers financial protection to you or the beneficiaries you designate during enrollment. You do not pay any premium for this benefit. The Basic Life benefit is a flat $11,500 and the AD&D benefit is a flat $7,500.

Voluntary AD&D Insurance

In the event you want additional insurance coverage for your family, you can purchase voluntary AD&D insurance at competitive group rates. Once you purchase coverage for yourself, you can also get coverage for your spouse and eligible dependents.

If you are newly eligible and have not previously waived your opportunity to elect coverage, you can elect up to the plan’s guaranteed issue amounts without submitting evidence of insurability (EOI). If you are a late entrant and have previously waived the opportunity to purchase additional coverage, you may be required to submit EOI. EOI requirements are communicated when you enroll.
