No-Cost Insurance Programs
As a CSEA member, you are automatically covered by a no-cost insurance plan through MetLife. You are covered by a $10,000 accidental death benefit, regardless of when you joined CSEA, as long as you remain an active member. For members who join CSEA after January 1, 2026, an additional $5,000 life insurance benefit is provided for the first year of membership at no cost, with options to continue coverage.
We hope you’ll never need it, but if the unexpected happens, this protection can make a critical difference for your loved ones. Please complete the beneficiary section below to ensure your coverage goes where it’s needed most.

Complete the beneficiary form so this benefit goes to who YOU designate. This form will help ensure we have your most current information in the event of an accidental death claim. Mail your completed form to:
