Group Life Insurance

Reliant provides group term life insurance for all missionaries and employees whose status if 30 hours per week or more. The standard amount of insurance is the equivalent of one year's salary. Coverage begins on the first day of the full month following the date when the employee became eligible for coverage. This insurance pays out to a beneficiary, designated by the employee, in the event of the eligible employee's death. Reliant secures this insurance on the employee's behalf. The employee is responsible to provide current beneficiary information. Contact Missionary Resources Employment Services for information about this benefit.

Voluntary Life Insurance

Reliant missionaries may voluntarily purchase additional life insurance though RSLI if they wish. Missionaries and employees may also voluntarily purchase life insurance for their spouse and dependents. The premiums for Voluntary LIfe are deducted from the employees paycheck each month. Once purchased, Reliant will continue to maintain the policy unless and until the missionary asks for a change. Missionaries may seek changes during Open Enrollment or at any time during the year. See Voluntary Life Rate Schedule (PDF) for more information. Rates change annually and vary depending on the age of the person covered.

RSLI guarantees Voluntary Life insurance without proof of insurability up to $100,000. For greater amounts of coverage RSLI may seek evidence of insurability. Contact Missionary Resources Employment Services for information about this benefit.
