Dependent Life Insurance
Dependent life insurance coverage is available for your spouse/domestic partner and/or your eligible children if you’re full-time faculty and staff or a member of a collective bargaining unit.
Eligible Dependents
Eligible dependents include:
- Your spouse or domestic partner
- Your unmarried biological or adopted children and stepchildren up to age 26. (Your spouse’s biological and/or adopted children are eligible if they meet the age and dependent criteria.)
If both you and your spouse/domestic partner are eligible to purchase Dependent Life Insurance through the University, you can purchase policies covering each other. However, only one of you may purchase a Dependent Life policy covering your children.
