The employee GI amounts are the lesser of 7x’s the annual compensation to a max of $400k. Spouse GI amount is $20k. Any amounts above that would require that the employee submit an EOI.

2. Employees and Spouses not currently enrolled in supplemental life may enroll up to the GI amounts without having to submit an EOI. Any amounts above the GI would require an EOI.
