This voluntary program available to faculty and staff allows you to obtain life insurance for your spouse/domestic partner and/or your dependents (14 days old through the end of the month in which they reach 26 years old unless the dependent is disabled; if the dependent is disabled and classified as a dependent for tax purposes, there is no maximum age for coverage).
Spouse/Dependent Term Life Enrollment
If an employee wants to participate in the spouse/dependent voluntary term life insurance plan, the employee MUST elect or already have coverage for themselves under the voluntary term life insurance benefit.
Your dependent's benefit amount cannot exceed 100 percent of your benefit amount. For example, if your salary is $40,000 and you elect one-half times your salary in voluntary term life for yourself, you must elect $20,000 or less for your spouse.
The premium may only be paid after tax as a deduction from your net pay.
As noted, each selection gives your spouse and/or dependents life insurance. The employee will always be the beneficiary in the death of a spouse and/or dependent. The contingent beneficiary will always be the insured's estate.
