Life and AD&D

Protection for you and those who depend on you.

Basic life and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) Direct Link

Petco provides company-paid life and AD&D coverage to benefit-eligible salaried and hourly partners. Under most circumstances, life insurance pays benefits upon your death. Accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) coverage pays benefits if your death is the result of a covered accident or if you lose a limb due to a covered accident. Your beneficiary may receive both the life and AD&D benefit. Basic life and AD&D will decrease to 65% of the original coverage amount at age 65 and 50% of the original coverage amount at age 70.

Evidence of Insurability (EOI) Direct Link

If you elect supplemental life coverage over the guaranteed issue amount, evidence of insurability (EOI) is required to add or increase coverage. An EOI is an application process in which you provide information on the condition of your health or your dependent’s health to get certain types of insurance coverage.

Voluntary AD&D insurance (salaried partners) Direct Link

Salaried partners may also purchase voluntary AD&D for themselves and their families. If your death is the result of a covered accident, your beneficiaries receive the full amount of your voluntary AD&D Insurance. If you are seriously injured in a covered accident, all or part of your voluntary AD&D benefit is paid to you. The amount payable depends on the nature of the injury. If you select an option that includes coverage for your family, coverage for family members is a percentage of your coverage.

* For family coverage under voluntary AD&D, children are eligible up to age 19, or age 26 if a full-time student.

Voluntary Life and AD&D (Hourly Partners) Direct Link

Benefit eligible hourly partners can purchase voluntary life and accidental death & dismemberment insurance coverage. With Group Term Life Insurance, beneficiaries will receive a benefit payment if you or a covered person pass away during the “term” (your employer’s benefit year)*. Supplemental Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance is also included, which provides the insured person or their beneficiary a payment separate from the life insurance benefit if the insured person dies or is severely injured in a covered accident.

When enrolling, you’ll have the opportunity to choose the following amounts:
