Life

All full-time State employees are eligible for Plan 1 basic life insurance ($50,000) at no cost. The State of New Hampshire also offers full-time employees a variety of voluntary life insurance programs which are available at their own cost through convenient payroll deduction.

Life Insurance Enrollment/Changes

Eligible full-time employees are automatically enrolled in $50,000 state-paid basic life insurance coverage. In addition, eligible employees may purchase additional voluntary life insurance coverage for themselves, their spouse, or children, within 45 days of date of hire or make changes to these benefits within 30 days of a qualifying life event. Otherwise, they may enroll or make changes to voluntary life insurance coverage during annual Open Enrollment. They may cancel voluntary life insurance coverage at any time. To enroll or make changes to voluntary life insurance coverage, employees need to complete the Life Insurance Enrollment/Change Form.
