<strong>Connect</strong> (when you get to the MetLife site, select the Statement of Health link), or by<br />

paper. Spouse EOI must be submitted by paper.<br />

You can download a paper EOI form through the Forms link at <strong>HII</strong> <strong>Benefits</strong> <strong>Connect</strong><br />

or request an EOI form from the Huntington Ingalls <strong>Benefits</strong> Center (HIBC) at 1-<br />

877-216-3222. You must return the completed EOI form to MetLife at the address<br />

provided on the form as soon as possible. MetLife will review your form and notify<br />

you and the HIBC when your coverage is accepted or rejected. If your coverage is<br />

accepted, MetLife informs you of the date your coverage begins.<br />

The EOI process requires information about your health, medical history, and preexisting<br />

conditions. In addition, your doctor may be required to submit information<br />

regarding your health or give you a physical exam. You may be required to pay the<br />

cost of any physical exams performed to obtain coverage.<br />

Until your EOI is processed, your coverage will be limited to an amount allowed<br />

without EOI. For example, if you enroll as a new employee and choose coverage<br />

equal to four times your annual base pay of $155,000, your coverage will be limited<br />

to $600,000 until your EOI is processed and your coverage is approved.<br />

Imputed Income<br />

Federal tax law requires you to pay income taxes on the value of your employerprovided<br />

group life insurance in excess of $50,000 and on spouse life insurance when<br />

applicable. This is called imputed income. You may choose to avoid imputed income<br />

by not electing any spouse life insurance.<br />

What Happens to Your Optional Coverage at Age 65<br />

If you have optional life insurance coverage at age 65, the original amount of your<br />

optional coverage is reduced the first of the month following your 65th birthday,<br />

based on the following chart:<br />

Age<br />

Percentage of Your Original<br />

Benefit Amount Payable<br />

65 92% of the original amount<br />

66 84% of the original amount<br />

67 76% of the original amount<br />

68 68% of the original amount<br />

69 60% of the original amount<br />

70 and older 50% of the original amount<br />

This reduction will also affect your spouse’s life insurance benefit. Note that your<br />

spouse’s reduction is based on when you reach age 65 (the first of the month<br />

following your 65th birthday). Your spouse’s benefit is not affected by his or her age.<br />
