Accidental Death & Dismemberment

Accident insurance helps protect you against losses due to accidents on or off the job. As a Kiewit employee, you are automatically covered by this additional insurance at no cost to you.

  • The Kiewit protection policy covers employees in the amount of two times your annual base salary, up to $300,000.
  • The plan begins immediately on your first full day of employment.
  • AD&D insurance has a Benefit Reduction Schedule. In other words, coverage is reduced to 65% starting at age 65, 45% at age 70, 30% at age 75 and 20% at age 80.

In addition to the Kiewit-provided protection policy, you have the option to purchase additional accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage through an after-tax payroll deduction for you and/or your family. Click on the links below for more information.

Note: For employee term life insurance, the IRS requires that the value of any life insurance over $50,000 be treated as additional “imputed” income subject to taxation. The first $50,000 of basic employee life insurance is tax-free. Amounts over $50,000 will be considered imputed income and will be reported on your paycheck and W-2 as taxable income.
