Dependent Life Insurance

The University offers benefit-eligible employees two options of Dependent Life Insurance coverage for eligible family members. Eligible family members include a spouse and any unmarried dependent child(ren) under age 19 as well as any unmarried child(ren) between the ages of 19 and 25 who are full-time students and considered dependent(s). If both husband and wife are employed by the University and are eligible for insurance, they will be insured as employees only and either one, not both, may insure their child(ren). 

If you are a new employee within 31 days from your date of hire or a current employee within 31 days of acquiring a newly eligible dependent and select dependent life insurance coverage you do not need to complete an Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form.  During the annual open enrollment period all employees that are newly electing dependent life insurance will need to complete an Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form for each dependent requesting coverage.
