Supplemental Coverage for State of Nevada Employees
Nevada state employees benefit from the stability of public employment and Nevada PERS retirement, but life insurance coverage through the Public Employees Benefits Program (PEBP) often provides only a modest death benefit. A state employee with a $65,000 salary and a family depending on that income may have only $65,000–$130,000 in group coverage — far short of 10x income protection benchmarks. Supplemental individual life insurance, available from multiple A-rated (A.M. Best) carriers through our network, bridges this gap with portable coverage that remains in force regardless of changes in state employment.
Guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance carrier. No personalized coverage recommendation is made — work with a licensed agent to determine what is right for your situation.

State of Nevada Employee Life Insurance Questions
PEBP provides a death benefit typically based on a multiple of salary or a flat dollar amount. The specifics depend on your position and benefits tier. Check your most recent PEBP benefits summary for your exact coverage amount.
PEBP voluntary supplemental options are one choice, but they are group policies — not portable and not individually underwritten. Individual policies purchased through a licensed agent may offer better long-term value depending on your health and coverage needs.
No. PERS provides a retirement income benefit, not a life insurance death benefit. If you die before or during retirement, your family receives limited survivor benefits — not full income replacement. A separate life insurance policy is highly advisable for those with dependents.
