Securian life and AD&D insurance plans

Basic life and AD&D insurance

Vontier provides company-paid Basic life insurance coverage of a specific amount that lasts throughout your employment.

Supplemental life and AD&D insurance

If you want additional coverage, you can buy supplemental life and AD&D insurance for yourself and your family.

Be sure to name a beneficiary

Designate a beneficiary (and keep it up-to-date) in order to receive the benefit paid by a life insurance policy. Visit the bswift website to add or change a beneficiary.

Basic Life and AD&D Insurance

Vontier provides basic life and AD&D insurance to assist you and your family in the event of a death or dismemberment. These benefits are fully paid by the company and coverage is automatic — you do not need to enroll.

Depending on your Operating Company, you may select one of these company paid options for basic life insurance:

  • Basic life insurance:
    • Option 1: $50,000 or
    • Option 2: 1.5x annual pay up to $2,000,000.

Note that if you select Option 2, you may pay imputed income tax on the value of the life insurance above $50,000.

What is AD&D insurance?

If you lose your life, sight, hearing, speech, or use of your limb(s) in an accident, AD&D insurance provides additional benefits to help keep your family financially secure. AD&D benefits are paid as a percentage of your coverage amount — from 50% to 100% — depending on the type of loss.

How company-paid life insurance is taxed

The IRS requires you to pay taxes on the value of any company-paid life insurance coverage over $50,000. This is called imputed income; you’ll notice it on your pay statements and your W-2.

Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance

For more financial protection beyond Vontier’s basic coverage, you can buy supplemental life and AD&D insurance for yourself and your family members. You can enroll on the bswift website as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, or if you have a qualifying life event. You pay the full cost of this coverage, which is provided through Securian. You do not need to be insured for supplemental life insurance in order to be enroll in dependent life insurance.
