Jabil protects you and your family with Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance through MetLife at no cost to you.

Basic Life Insurance pays your beneficiary a benefit if you die. If you die in an accident, AD&D Insurance pays your beneficiary an extra benefit. Or, if you have a significant injury resulting from an accident, AD&D Insurance pays a benefit to you.

You can purchase Supplemental Life Insurance for yourself and your eligible dependents.

  • No dependent child can be covered by more than one employee in the plan.
  • No dependent child can be covered as both an employee and a dependent.
You must be actively at work for initial coverage or any increase in coverage in your life for AD&D plans to take effect.

Life insurance requires you to designate a beneficiary, that is, the person(s) who would receive your benefits if you die. Submit your beneficiary designations through the Jabil Benefits Service Center, and keep this information up to date or your money may not be distributed in the way you’d like.

It’s a good idea to review your beneficiary(ies) from time to time, for example, when you:

  • Experience a life event such as marriage, birth, divorce, or death of a dependent
  • Complete your benefits open enrollment
  • Update your will or estate plan

Accelerated Benefit Option

If you’ve been diagnosed as terminally ill with no more than 12 months to live, you can use the Accelerated Benefit Option (ABO) feature to receive a lump-sum payment of a portion of your life insurance benefit early to use for any purpose. You are eligible to receive up to 50% of your combined Basic and Supplemental Life Insurance benefit, up to $250,000.

It’s also available to your dependents who have Jabil Supplemental Life coverage.

Contact the Jabil benefits department to apply for the ABO.

Benefit Reductions

Your Basic and Supplemental Life Insurance coverages reduce starting when you turn age 65:​​

  • Age 65 but less than 70, your benefit reduces to 65%
  • Age 70 but less than 75, your benefit reduces to 45%
  • Age 75 or older, your benefit reduces to 25%

Once your benefit reduces, you can convert it to an individual policy without showing evidence of insurability for your new policy. You have 31 days to apply for a new policy, otherwise you lose the option to convert coverage.
