The average amount of life insurance can vary for your spouse based on several factors, including gender of your spouse, their age and health, the cost of life insurance, as well as other factors. In 2002, the average new individual life insurance policy was $129,459. Source: American Council of Life Insurers The amount you need for life insurance for your spouse may vary depending on the value your spouse provides, do they work and earn an income? If they are a stay-at-home spouse, what work around the home do they take care of that you would have to pay for if they were no longer there? Do they take care of the kids, wash clothes, clean the house, run errands, etc? It may cost quite a bit to replace all the work a stay-at-home spouse performs on a regular basis. You may want to use a life insurance calculator to help you in determining your life insurance needs for your spouse. There's a good calculator available at http://swz.salary.com/momsalarywizard/layoutscripts/mswl_newsearch.asp that provides a way of determining what mom's work at home is worth. They also have one for stay-at-home dads, too.

Can an employer use the working spouse rule to force a self-employed spouse to get her own health insurance when the premiums would exceed her income?
No, Working Spouse Rule If both you and your spouse work for Vought Aircraft, one of you can opt out of medical and dental coverage and the other spouse can cover both of you. Or, each spouse can elect separate coverage. However, only one of you can cover your eligible dependents for medical and dental benefits. Both of you can cover eligible dependents for optional benefits, such as optional life. If your spouse works for a company other than Vought Aircraft and has medical coverage available through that employer, Vought requires that your spouse enroll in that employer's medical plan if the employer pays 50% or more of the cost of the plan. Your spouse's plan becomes the "primary" payer, and your Vought coverage becomes your spouse's secondary insurance. A change in your spouse's employment status (termination or beginning of employment, for example, or a significant change in insurance coverage) qualifies as a change in life status that allows you to change your benefit elections during the plan year. http://benefits.voughtaircraft.com/employees/CBU/enrollment/workingspouse.htm for more info. see www.steveshorr.com/
