State Group Life Insurance Premium Rates Effective April 1, 2022

The Group Insurance Board (Board) moved forward with the 5% increase to the employee premium rates effective April 1, 2022. On August 19, 2019, the Board adopted a plan that authorized a 5% annual premium increase to the state plan effective April 2020 through 2028. This action was taken with the goal of maintaining and managing the program to a 100% funding level for each plan.

The premium rates for spouse and dependent coverage will remain the same as the current rate of $2.26 per unit.

For rates effective April 1, 2022 - March 31, 2023, please see Group Life Insurance Plan Monthly Rates (ET-2164).

Employer Contribution

The state employer contribution for basic coverage is an amount equal to 65.25% of the employee-paid premium. The contribution for supplemental coverage is 37.25% of the employee premium. This employer rate is unchanged from 2021.
