Hey!! Climbers and Public Employees!

[telemarker]

Are you insured under Public Employees Benefit Bureau (PEBB)? Did you get any supplemental (term) life insurance because of your climbing? If so, did they (Reliastar Ins. Inc.) ask you about roped activities and did they place any restrictions on your supplemental coverage?

I know this is a specific question that pertains to few on this board, but if you work for the state of WA, you can e-mail me directly regarding this (plotz) or just reply to the thread. thanks!

No climbing exclusion as far as I could tell (I specifically asked the benefits people at the UW).

 

I did have to get a blood test and fill out a medical-history questionnaire.

Yes, I think so. It's the extra insurance you can opt for (for which you have to pay more), that covers more than the piddly amount (funeral expenses basically) covered by the default coverage.
