The cost depends on your age and coverage amount.

Spouse – You must be enrolled in voluntary life insurance to purchase voluntary life insurance for your spouse, at the following levels: $10,000, ½ your salary, or one times your salary. The amount purchased cannot exceed 50% of your voluntary life insurance.
-
Children – You must be enrolled in voluntary life to purchase dependent child life insurance. The coverage is $10,000 per child. One premium covers all children under 23.
