KPERS Optional Life Insurance - Open Enrollment

Guaranteed Coverage

Open enrollment is October 1-31. Most members can get guaranteed coverage during open enrollment. If you would like more than the guaranteed amount, you will need to answer a few health questions.


Keep in mind, you don't need to do anything if you're happy with your current coverage.


You can view your available coverage by logging in to your KPERS account. You'll see how much you have now and how much you can get during open enrollment. And you can adjust the amounts right on the screen to estimate your new premium.

Coverage starts January 1, 2027

How To Apply

Important: If you or your spouse were previously declined coverage by The Standard, health questions are required to apply for the annual open enrollment increase. All amounts applied for will require a medical history statement.
