    Life Insurance Coverage for Your Dependents

    Coverage is also available for your spouse/domestic partner and qualifying dependent children, according to the chart below. Contributions are made on an after-tax basis, so the benefit is not taxable when you receive it.

    Your Spouse/Domestic Partner Your Child(ren)

    Coverage guaranteed up to $50,000 with no Evidence of Insurability (EOI) required

    Coverage above $50,000 requires Evidence of Insurability (EOI)

    Coverage available in amounts of $5,000 to $15,000 with no Evidence of Insurability (EOI) required

    Included Benefits & Services

    The following additional benefits and services are automatically included with your Basic Life Insurance coverage:

    • Online tool for drafting your will
    • Legal and emotional support for beneficiaries after a death
    • Travel assistance
    • Identity theft protection
    • The Hartford’s Express Pay process, which, under certain conditions will pay death claims in as little as 48 hours
    • Funeral planning advisor assistance, including cost comparison services and online tools

    Evidence of Insurability (EOI) Requirement

    Evidence of Insurability (EOI) is how you provide pr­­­oof of good health to The Hartford.

    • If you’re a new hire and enroll when first eligible, you can elect coverage up to the lesser of five times your annual base pay or $300,000 without EOI.
    • If you’re a current employee and enroll after you are first eligible or increase your Supplemental coverage by more than one times annual base pay, EOI is required for coverage above five times annual base pay.

    AD&D Insurance

    Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance coverage provides financial protection for you and your family in the event of a covered accidental injury or death.

    • You may enroll in AD&D coverage when you’re first hired or during annual open enrollment. Evidence of Insurability (EOI) is not required.
    • You may purchase coverage for yourself up to 10 times your annual base pay, with a $750,000 maximum. If you enroll, you may also cover your spouse/domestic partner and any eligible dependent children.
    • You pay for AD&D coverage with pre-tax dollars and you’ll need to designate a beneficiary. Use the Enroll/Log In button at the top of the page to add or change your beneficiary.

    The Hertz policy number with The Hartford is 803546.

    Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)

    Set Aside Money to Pay for Eligible Out-of-Pocket Expenses

    If you plan to enroll in the CDHP medical plan and currently contribute to a health savings account (HSA), you must spend down remaining dollars in your FSA before contributing to or using your HSA. Failure to comply could result in a tax penalty.

    Benefits of Enrolling in an FSA

    Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) enable you to set aside some of your pay, on a pre-tax basis, into an account to pay for eligible health care or dependent care expenses.

    • By using pre-tax dollars to pay for these expenses, you lower your taxable income, which can reduce the amount of taxes you pay.
    • You can enroll in an account even if you’re not enrolled in any other Hertz benefits.
    • You can elect the health care FSA (HCFSA), the dependent care FSA (DCFSA), or both.
    • Use the information on this page to determine the best account(s) for you.

    Plan carefully when determining how much to contribute to your FSA. You must incur eligible expenses no later than March 15, and submit claims for reimbursement by June 30, following the end of the prior plan year; the plan year ends on Dec. 31. Any unused balance on your FSA will be forfeited.

    Health Care FSA (HCFSA)

    The health care FSA (HCFSA) covers copays, deductibles, coinsurance, prescriptions, dental care, eye exams, and other eligible health care expenses.

    (blank)

    How the HCFSA Works

    You set aside pre-tax money through payroll deductions up to IRS limits, which are announced annually.

    • The HCFSA maximum contribution limit for 2026 is $3,300.
    • You determine your HCFSA contribution during new hire and open enrollment, and you can’t make changes during the year unless you experience a qualifying life event.

    After you enroll, you’ll receive a convenient HCFSA debit card with funds available immediately. Throughout the year, you can use your HCFSA to pay for eligible medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug expenses, including deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.

    You may need to submit documentation of your payments, so make sure to save your receipts clearly marked as paid.

    Eligible Expenses

    In general, eligible health care expenses are those relating to expenses incurred during the plan year (including the two-and-one-half month grace period). You incur an expense on the day the service is provided or the supply is received, not when you are billed or when you pay for it.

    You can access a complete list of eligible expenses in IRS Publication 502.

    Always keep your receipts, clearly marked as paid, as proof your expenses were eligible for IRS purposes. You may be asked to submit them for verification.

    Claims & Reimbursements

    Get Reimbursed for Out-of-Pocket Payments

    If you want to get reimbursed using your HCFSA funds for an eligible expense paid out-of-pocket, you can file a manual claim for reimbursement by completing and submitting the HCFSA Claim Form.

    Direct Deposit Reimbursements

    To save time and avoid paper checks, you may choose to have your FSA reimbursements made by direct deposit into your bank account. To set up direct deposit, simply complete and submit the Direct Deposit Authorization Form.

    Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA)

    The dependent care FSA (DCFSA) covers child care expenses while you are at work for children under age 13 or for other dependents who are incapable of self-care.

    Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.

    How the DCFSA Works

    The dependent care FSA (DCFSA) allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible dependent care expenses for children under age 13 and for certain elderly or disabled dependents. The DCFSA is for child care or elder care expenses only; it is not for health care expenses for your dependents.

    • The DCFSA maximum contribution limit for 2026 is $7,500 individually, or up to $3,750 if married and filing separately.
    • You determine your HCFSA contribution during new hire and open enrollment, and you can’t make changes during the year unless you experience a qualifying life event.

    After you enroll, your DCFSA funds are available as soon as you deposit them into your account. Throughout the year, you can use your DCFSA to pay for child care or elder care expenses while you and your spouse work or attend school.

    You may need to submit documentation of your payments, so make sure to save your receipts clearly marked as paid.

    Eligible Expenses

    Examples of eligible expenses that can be paid for with your DCFSA include:

    • Child care
    • Babysitting
    • Before- and after-school programs
    • Nursery school
    • Preschool
    • Adult or senior daycare

    You can access a complete list of eligible expenses in IRS Publication 503.

    Always keep your receipts, clearly marked as paid, as proof your expenses were eligible for IRS purposes. You may be asked to submit them for verification.

    Claims & Reimbursements

    When you have a dependent care expense, you will pay the provider and then file a claim for reimbursement by completing and submitting the DCFSA Claim Form.

    Direct Deposit Reimbursements

    To save time and avoid paper checks, you may choose to have your FSA reimbursements made by direct deposit into your bank account. To set up direct deposit, simply complete and submit the Direct Deposit Authorization Form.

    Qualifying Life Events

    You can only update your benefit elections outside of your new hire enrollment period or annual open enrollment if you experience a qualifying life event. For example, if your family status has recently changed (i.e. marriage, divorce, addition of a child, etc.), this may qualify you to update your benefits.

    Submit Your Life Event

    Guidelines

    • If you process a qualifying life event, you will be asked to provide documentation of the life event, such as a birth certificate or marriage license.
    • You must request updates to your benefits within 31 days of the qualifying life event and provide evidence of your life event within 30 days. Updates to your benefits will not be accepted if you miss these deadlines.

    Have you recently lost a loved one?

    When you lose a loved one, you will likely have questions about your benefits coverage and options.

    Life Event Scenarios

    Who Can Enroll in Coverage

    Eligibility Requirements

    Please note that this is an overview of eligibility. For complete details, refer to the summary plan description (SPD) in the Document Library.

    Mainland & Alaska

    As a Hertz employee, you are eligible for Hertz benefits* if you work at least 30 hours per week and meet certain work hour requirements.

    • You have 30 days from your date of hire to enroll in or waive coverage.
    • For more information about new hire enrollment, including your enrollment deadline, visit the New Hire Hub.

    Hawaii

    If you are a regular full-time or part-time Hertz employee and work an average of at least 20 hours per week, your benefits become effective on the first day of the month following four (4) consecutive weeks of continuous employment.

    The spouse or domestic partner of a benefits-eligible Hertz employee* can be covered under Hertz medical, dental, and vision coverage, as well as Dependent Life Insurance and AD&D coverage.

    Domestic Partner Qualification & Affidavit

    • To qualify for domestic partner coverage, you and your partner must meet the criteria outlined in the Affidavit for Domestic Partner Benefits.
    • The Affidavit for Domestic Partner Benefits must be signed, notarized, and submitted to the Corporate Employee Benefits Department before any domestic partner benefits will become effective.
    • Any premium contributions made by Hertz on behalf of your domestic partner are considered taxable income to you.

    The child(ren) of a benefits-eligible Hertz employee* can be covered under Hertz medical, dental, and vision coverage, as well as Dependent Life Insurance and AD&D coverage.

    This includes:

    • Children, legal stepchildren, adopted children, and/or foster children up to age 26.
    • Unmarried children of any age who are incapable of supporting themselves due to a mental or physical disability that began before age 26.

    *If both you and your spouse or domestic partner work for Hertz, only one of you can cover the other and/or your child(ren) under Hertz benefits. Under no circumstance can either employee have double coverage, nor can child(ren) be covered by both parents.

    Dependent Eligibility Verification

    If you enroll a new dependent, you may be asked to provide documentation to verify dependent eligibility. If you’re randomly selected to provide documentation, this will occur after you complete your benefits enrollment. Please note that falsifying information can lead to cancellation of dependent coverage and disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.‍

    The Affordable Care Act requires certain employers to offer affordable, minimum value medical coverage to all full-time employees. The company where your spouse works will be able to validate compliance with this requirement or indicate exemption from the regulation. This does not apply if both spouses work for Hertz and does not impact your ability to cover dependent children.
