Health Plan Improvements

3.  Survivor Health Care Benefits Extended

Family members of an employee who dies while actively employed will be eligible to continue their health insurance for up to five years.  Previously, health care benefits were extended for only six months.

Surviving family members can continue health (including prescription drug), dental, and vision insurance by paying the monthly premiums required for active employees.  Coverage will continue for five years or whenever family members attain other health insurance, whichever comes sooner.

Surviving family members should contact University Human Resources for assistance in extending health insurance coverage.
