You Pass Away

For medical, dental, and vision coverage, including expatriate coverage: If you pass away while actively employed at JPMorgan Chase, any dependents who were covered under your JPMorgan Chase health care coverage before your death will continue to be covered until the last day of the month in which you pass away. Covered dependents can then elect to continue coverage under COBRA and pay the active employee rate for coverage for up to 36 months of the COBRA period. Dependents must be covered under the Medical Plan at the time of your death to be eligible for COBRA coverage at JPMorgan Chase-subsidized rates. (Please see "Continuing Coverage Under COBRA" in the Health Care Participation section for more information on COBRA.)

In addition, your dependents may be eligible to continue coverage under the Retiree Medical, Dental and/or Vision Plans if, at the time of death:

You have already met the general eligibility requirements for retirement. (For more information, please see the As You Leave Guide, available on me@jpmc.); or

You have already met the alternative eligibility requirements for retirement in the event of position elimination. (For more information, please see the As You Leave Guide as noted above.); or

You have 25 years of total service with JPMorgan Chase.

Dependents may continue coverage under the Retiree Medical, Dental and/or Vision Plans as long as they meet the plans' requirements.

For the spending accounts: If you pass away, claims for spending accounts for expenses incurred on or before the date of death can be filed to the appropriate program administrator, please see the Spending Accounts section for more details and the appropriate deadlines.

For the Life and Accident Insurance Plans: If you pass away, benefits from the Life and Accident Insurance Plans are paid to the beneficiary named. If a beneficiary has not been named, then the benefits are paid according to the order listed under "Beneficiaries" in the Life and Accident Insurance section.

If your dependents are enrolled for supplemental term life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance when you pass away, they may port their coverage by contacting MetLife, the claims administrator. Your dependents will be directly billed for this coverage. Dependents can also convert their supplemental term life insurance; however, they may not convert AD&D coverage. (Certain states have additional, specific requirements. Please refer to MetLife for state-specific rules.)

For the Group Legal Services Plan: In the event of your death while actively employed by JPMorgan Chase, your spouse has the option to continue group legal coverage by contacting MetLife Legal Plans within 31 days of the date of your death to extend coverage for an additional 12 months with direct payment to MetLife Legal Plans. Any services in progress at the time of your death will be provided, even if your spouse does not elect to continue coverage.

For the Group Personal Excess Liability Plan: In the event of your death, coverage will be provided to any surviving household member who is a covered person at the time of death, including your spouse, legal representative, or any person having proper temporary custody of your property, until the end of the policy period or policy anniversary date, whichever is sooner.
