You may be eligible to purchase coverage between $5,000 and $50,000 in $5,000 increments for yourself and up to $30,000 for your spouse. Your kids are automatically covered at 50 percent of the amount elected for yourself. Kids are also covered for , including cystic fibrosis, Down's syndrome, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida and cerebral palsy.
