If you are a current employee, any new Supplemental Life Insurance coverage amounts up to $3 million will require EOI.
- If your base pay changes during the year, your Supplemental Life and/or AD&D cost and coverage amount will change accordingly.

Evidence of insurability (EOI)
You (and/or your spouse) may be required to show evidence of insurability — or proof of good health — if you enroll in or increase your Supplemental Life Insurance for yourself and/or your spouse.
Providing evidence of insurability (EOI)
Unum, the insurance carrier, will send an email to your Schneider email address with a link for you to complete your EOI form online. If you do not have a Schneider Electric email address, before January 1 Unum will mail an EOI form to your home address.3 Your new or increased coverage level will not become effective until after Unum approves your increased coverage. Your new payroll deductions will begin shortly after your EOI is approved.
3. Call Unum if you don’t receive the form (timing differs if you are newly hired).
