Life insurance

Being prepared for life’s challenges is not always possible. When the unexpected happens, Adobe’s life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) plans through Lincoln Financial Group can ease the pressure on you and your family. Your money, your future.

Employee life insurance

Adobe provides employee basic life insurance at no cost to you if you are an active employee scheduled to work at least 24 hours per week. You can elect coverage in the amount of either $50,000 or three times your salary, up to a maximum of $500,000. Amounts will be rounded down to the nearest $50,000 increment.

If your basic life insurance coverage exceeds $50,000, you will have imputed income, which means the cost of the company-provided life insurance over $50,000 is treated as taxable income. For additional information, visit the IRS website and read about Group-Term Life Insurance.

You can purchase supplemental life insurance for yourself in $50,000 increments, up to 10 times your annual base salary. During Open Enrollment and eligible life events, you can elect an increase of up to $150,000 with no evidence of insurability (EOI). In addition, you can add even more insurance (up to plan limits) with an approved EOI.

The combined coverage of your basic and supplemental life insurance can be up to $2 million.

Spouse/domestic partner life insurance

You may purchase life insurance for your spouse or domestic partner in $25,000 increments, up to $250,000. Evidence of insurability (EOI) is required at levels above $125,000. Evidence of insurability is sometimes called “proof of good health” and is used to qualify for certain amounts of life insurance coverage. During Open Enrollment and eligible life events, your spouse/partner will need to complete EOI for increases greater than $25,000 or any amount over $125,000. The combined coverage for child life and spouse/partner life cannot exceed the amount you choose for yourself. If your spouse/DP is also an Adobe employee, you cannot cover each other under spouse coverage.
