Life Insurance
Basic Life Insurance
Basic Life and AD&D coverage is provided by the City of Eugene for eligible employees through Standard Life Insurance Company.
Portable Term Life Insurance
This optional supplemental insurance may be purchased by the employee or their spouse/domestic partner through ReliaStar Life Insurance Company. The premium is conveniently paid through a payroll deduction – no check to write every month! New employees may apply for a guaranteed issue amount within 31 days of their date of hire without the need for a proof of good health form. All other applications require completion of the proof of good health form and underwriting by ReliaStar.
Supplemental portable term life applications for new coverage or a change in coverage may be made at any time throughout the year. If you already have portable term life and want to simply increase the amount of coverage, fill out the application for only the additional coverage amount. An updated declaration of domestic partnership form is required for domestic partner applications, unless you have registered your domestic partnership with the State of Oregon. Send completed application forms to the City of Eugene Benefits Program.
Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program
The Federal Public Safety Officer’s Benefits Program (PSOB) provides death benefits to eligible survivors of public safety officers who die in the line of duty. The amount is adjusted each year on Oct. to reflect the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index. The PSOB program also provides disability benefits for public safety officers who have been permanently and totally disabled by injury sustained in the line of duty.
As defined by Congress in Public Law 90-351 (Sec. 1217), a public safety officer is an individual serving a public agency in an official capacity, with or without compensation, as a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or member of a rescue squad or ambulance crew.
