Guaranteed Life Insurance Coverage Opportunities

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. Full-time employees may review this link for information on the group basic life insurance benefit

If you are purchasing optional life insurance, please review this link.
