Basic Life Insurance 37.1 The Employer shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the monthly premium of the basic life insurance plan.
37.2 The basic life insurance plan shall provide:
(a) Effective June 1, 2002, coverage equal to one hundred percent (100%) of annual salary or ten thousand dollars ($10,000), whichever is greater;
(b) where an employee is continuously disabled for a period exceeding six (6) months, the Employer will continue to pay monthly premiums on behalf of the employee until the earliest of recovery, death, or the end of the month in which the employee reaches age sixty-five (65). Any premiums paid by the employee for this coverage between the date of disability and the date this provision comes into force shall be refunded to the employee;
(c) a conversion option for terminating employees to be obtained without evidence of insurability and providing coverage up to the amount for which the employee was insured prior to termination (less the amount of coverage provided by the Employer in the case of retirement). The premium of such policy shall be at the current rates of the insuring company. Application must be made within thirty-one (31) days of the date of termination of insurance. The Employer will advise terminating employees of this conversion privilege. The minimum amount that may be converted is two thousand dollars ($2,000). The conversion options shall be:
1. Any standard life or endowment plans (without disability or double-indemnity benefits) issued by the insurance carrier.
2. A one (1) year term insurance plan which is convertible to the standard life or endowment plans referred to in option 1 above.
3. A term to age sixty-five (65) insurance plan.
37.3 The amount of basic life insurance will be adjusted with changes in the employee’s salary from the date of approval of the increase or the effective date, whichever is later. If an employee is absent from work because of sickness or disability on the date an increase in insurance would have occurred, the increase will not take effect until the employee returns to work on a full-time basis (i.e., for at least one (1) full day).
37.4 Basic life insurance will terminate at the end of the month in which an employee ceases to be a regular employee unless coverage is extended under the total disability provision. Employees who receive a monthly benefit from the Public Service Superannuation Fund or the OPSEU Pension Trust are entitled to free coverage of two thousand dollars ($2,000) not earlier than thirty-one (31) days after the first of the month coinciding with or following date of retirement and this amount will be kept in force for the remainder of the employee’s life.
Retiree Life Insurance Employees who retire under the Monroe County Employees' Retirement System shall be eligible for $4,000.00 term life insurance. All employees hired by the Employer on or after October 1, 2007 shall not be eligible for Retiree Life Insurance.

ACCOUNTS SUBJECT TO ERISA The ERISA Rider is applicable to all Customers Under Section II of this Schedule A.
Contribution Formula - Basic Life Coverage For employee basic life coverage and accidental death and dismemberment coverage, the Employer contributes one-hundred (100) percent of the cost.
Optional Life Insurance The State shall make available optional term-life insurance to employees. The cost will be paid by the employee on a payroll deduction basis. The available coverage will be at least two (2) times the employee’s salary. No evidence of insurability will be required if an adequate number of employees participate. The State will explore smoker/non-smoker rates and spousal coverage.

Gov’t Code § 809.001(1).
Special Parental Allowance for Totally Disabled Employees (a) An employee who:
(i) fails to satisfy the eligibility requirement specified in subparagraph 17.05(a)(ii) solely because a concurrent entitlement to benefits under the Disability Insurance (DI) Plan, the Long-term Disability (LTD) Insurance portion of the Public Service Management Insurance Plan (PSMIP) or via the Government Employees Compensation Act prevents the employee from receiving Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance Plan benefits, and
(ii) has satisfied all of the other eligibility criteria specified in paragraph 17.05(a), other than those specified in sections (A) and (B) of subparagraph 17.05(a)(iii), shall be paid, in respect of each week of benefits under the parental allowance not received for the reason described in subparagraph (i), the difference between ninety-three per cent (93%) of the employee's rate of pay and the gross amount of his or her weekly disability benefit under the DI Plan, the LTD Plan or via the Government Employees Compensation Act.
(b) An employee shall be paid an allowance under this clause and under clause 17.05 for a combined period of no more than the number of weeks during which the employee would have been eligible for parental, paternity or adoption benefits under the Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance Plan, had the employee not been disqualified from Employment Insurance or Québec Parental Insurance Plan benefits for the reasons described in subparagraph (a)(i).
