You may elect coverage in the following amounts:

An amount equal to basic State life insurance coverage only, or
An amount equal to the combined basic and optional State life insurance amounts, not exceeding the lesser of either 5 times basic life insurance coverage or $3,000,000.

During a seasonal layoff, illness, family/medical or educational leave without pay, coverage will continue as long as you continue to pay your portion of the premium, which will be billed directly to you.

During other types of leave without pay, coverage may continue for up to 24 months, but you will be responsible for both your employee premium and the State cost for coverage. Contact University Payroll and Benefits for more information.
