Additional information can be found below and in the Summary Plan Description.
Death Benefit, Life Insurance and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Benefits
The university provides a Basic Death Benefit equal to one times your base annual pay up to $500,000. For additional information review the Death Benefit At-A-Glance.
You may buy Optional Death Benefits of up to four times your base annual salary, up to a maximum benefit of $1,000,000. You may also buy Optional Death Benefits for your spouse and eligible dependent children. Review the Death Benefits At-A-Glance for additional information.
Depending on the amount of coverage you elect, evidence of insurability may be required.
Tobacco Usage Affects Life Insurance Costs
- Optional and spouse death benefit rates are based on tobacco usage.
- If you or your spouse are tobacco users, but you complete a tobacco cessation class, lower rates will be charged beginning in the next plan year.
- If you need to change your tobacco user status, please email the Benefits Department.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance protects you and your family in case of death, loss of a limb or eyesight and certain other conditions that result from an accident. If you die from a covered accident, AD&D pays a benefit in addition to your Life Insurance.
You may choose coverage for yourself and your family members. Employee coverage is available for one to five times your annual salary, to a maximum benefit of $1,000,000. Coverage for family members pays a percentage of your benefits.
For additional information and benefit details please review the AD&D At-A-Glance.
