Split-dollar insurance coverage
1. In disability income insurance, employer and employee each pay a portion of the premium. The employer pays for coverage for sick pay or paid disability leave as an employee benefit. The employee pays for disability coverage beyond what the employer provides. 2. In life insurance, premiums, ownership, and death proceeds are paid jointly by an employer and an employee. The employer may elect to pay part or all of the premium. If the employee dies, a beneficiary receives the difference between the cash value and the amount paid to the employer, whichever is greater. Two types of split-dollar life insurance policies are endorsement and collateral.
