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 and AD&D benefit is a flat $15,000.

Voluntary Life Insurance

In the event you need to purchase additional insurance coverage for your family you may purchase voluntary life insurance at competitive group rates. Once you purchase coverage for yourself you may also purchase 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, or you are increasing your life insurance, you must submit EOI to New York Life. EOI requirements are communicated to you when you enroll. Please contact your local HR partner for the EOI form and further instructions.
