If the new hire is over the age of 65, the district offers $7,500 at a cost of $3.92 and if the new hire is over the age of 70, the district offers $5,000 at a cost of $2.61 Group Basic Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance, guaranteed issue, through Symetra for new active full-time board members and employees working a minimum of 20 hours each week.<\/p>\n<p>If the new employee purchases the Group Basic Life Insurance, they may also purchase life insurance on their spouse and children, up to the age of 26. This is your only opportunity to request life insurance without requiring approval by the life insurance carrier. If you purchase Group Basic Life Insurance, you have the option to purchase supplemental life insurance. Benefit reductions occur at age 65.<\/p>\n<p>If your spouse and their children are on your life insurance, and you divorce, your spouse and their children must come off your life insurance. Please contact us, at the time of divorce, to have them removed. Your kids can remain dependents on your life insurance until they turn 26 years of age and are covered through the last day of the month they turn 26. Call the Insurance Office, for either of these changes as this could result in a lower premium.<\/p>\n<p>If you fail to enroll in the guaranteed issue life insurance as a new hire, you may apply for life insurance by requesting an Evidence of Insurability form which asks health related questions by contacting the Insurance Department. Coverage can be approved or declined by the life insurance company based on this information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-eenl54-e4273db9a4eff7587958417df362c38d\">\n.flex_column.av-eenl54-e4273db9a4eff7587958417df362c38d{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-eenl54-e4273db9a4eff7587958417df362c38d av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_heading  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-bx2hqw-84493ef69a511fe0666ec2e60d77d63f\">\n.iconbox.av-bx2hqw-84493ef69a511fe0666ec2e60d77d63f .iconbox_icon{\nbackground-color:#c42032;\n}\n<\/style>\n<article  class='iconbox iconbox_top av-bx2hqw-84493ef69a511fe0666ec2e60d77d63f  avia-builder-el-5  el_before_av_iconlist  avia-builder-el-first  main_color'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconbox_content\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><div class=\"iconbox_icon heading-color\" aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue854' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/div><h3 class='iconbox_content_title '  itemprop=\"headline\" ><a href='http:\/\/www.metlife.com' title='MetLife' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MetLife<\/a><\/h3><\/header><div class='iconbox_content_container '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"p1\">Bossier Parish Insurance Department<\/p>\n<p>318-549-5011<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bossierschools.org\/page\/life-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bossier Parish Life Insurance<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jv9m4793-506a767ece1d2cdc3c0bd75ab31e8a9f\">\n#top .avia-icon-list-container.av-jv9m4793-506a767ece1d2cdc3c0bd75ab31e8a9f .iconlist_icon{\ncolor:#ffffff;\nbackground-color:#c42032;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-icon-list-container av-jv9m4793-506a767ece1d2cdc3c0bd75ab31e8a9f  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_icon_box  avia-builder-el-last '><ul class='avia-icon-list avia_animate_when_almost_visible avia-icon-list-left av-iconlist-big av-jv9m4793-506a767ece1d2cdc3c0bd75ab31e8a9f avia-iconlist-animate'>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-2pqczl-cbf8671c61035406e2bf481f291ac735 avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue81f' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >LIFE\/AD&amp;D PLAN INFORMATION<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2637\/2025\/04\/267728-Bossier-Parish-School-Plan-Summaries-003.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MetLife &#8211;
