KPERS Optional Life Insurance |
|
Open Enrollment |
|
|
KPERS’ optional life insurance open enrollment is October 1-31. Many members can apply for new coverage or increase their current coverage without answering any health questions. This is called “guaranteed coverage.”
In 2024, members can add up to $250,000 in guaranteed coverage, with no health questions. This is a unique opportunity to increase up to the guaranteed max, even if the member has been denied OGLI coverage in the past. But it's only available during open enrollment.
This new coverage becomes effective January 2025.

Information for Members |
|
On September 26, KPERS will send you an email to forward to employees with information about open enrollment. You can also download the flyer and poster at kpers.org/optionallife, along with other available resources. |

Personalized Enrollment |
|
When members login to their online KPERS account they'll see personalized info.
We understand that online enrollment may not work for everyone. That's why we have a paper enrollment form* if someone needs it.
If members apply for more than the guaranteed coverage amounts using the paper form, The Standard (our life insurance provider) will contact them directly with a few health questions.
*Note: If you have employees who will be applying for coverage with this form, The Standard (our life insurance provider) has requested that you submit them in larger groupings to help streamline the process times. If you are able, please hold all of your agency’s paper open enrollment applications and either mail all together, send all in one fax as separate attachments, or upload all at once via Secure Upload on the EWP. |

Enrollment Confirmation |
|
Employees enrolling online will get an immediate confirmation screen. You can view the list on the OGLI Reports page in the EWP under Changes Since Last Report or export it to Excel so you can make any needed premium changes for 2025 in your payroll system. Employees will get a confirmation letter mid-December for coverage starting January 1. |
