The Columbia Public School District provides a $25,000 term life insurance policy with Kansas City Life Insurance Company for full-time employees enrolling in the medical plan. Part-time employees participating in the medical plan pay their own premium for the term life insurance policy. A supplemental life insurance option is available for the medical plan participants, and premiums are paid by the employee. The life insurance policy terminates when the insured is no longer employed by the District

Note: When enrolling in the Supplemental Life Policy as a new employee, coverage is guaranteed.

Kansas City Life can approve coverage or deny coverage on a late entrant application. To apply for the Supplemental Life Policy, contact the Employee Benefits Office.

Upon enrollment, employees are required to name a beneficiary. An employee may change the beneficiary assignment at any time by contacting the Employee Benefits Office.
