We have two providers, New York Life Insurance and Washington National Insurance, providing guaranteed issue of life insurance (no medical questions and no physical). Please think carefully about your life insurance beyond your UMW employment because our coverage is a term life insurance policy. If you leave employment before you are eligible to retire, your life insurance ends. Here is the link to review the impact due to separation of employment.
