ºÚÁÏÍø partnered with Securian Financial (Minnesota Life) as our provider for group life insurance. 

ºÚÁÏÍø is committed to providing employees with valuable benefits programs and has chosen  (Minnesota Life) as our administrator for our group term life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance as well as our supplemental life insurances for the employee, spouse, and their children.  not only provides life insurance benefits but also free legal, financial, and grief resources just to name a few. Feel free to review Securian's  or for more free resources and information.

What is the cost for the Group Term Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance?

The premiums are employer-paid; however, any amount of employer-paid insurance over the amount of $50,000 is subject to taxation as IMPUTED INCOME under Section 79 of the Internal Revenue Code.  To calculate the imputed income, please review the imputed income example for a better understanding of the imputed income cost versus the overall benefit.   

What is a beneficiary?  Do I need to designate a beneficiary?

A beneficiary is a person, trust, or organization that receives the monetary benefit of a life insurance policy should something happen to you. Designating a beneficiary(s) provides a smoother transaction when settling an estate among your survivors. The payment of any benefit shall be made to the beneficiary on record. This beneficiary designation may be changed at any time. If you would like to make changes to your beneficiaries, please use the Beneficiary Form - Securian.

Beneficiary changes are not effective until the completed form is received in the Employee Benefits Department located in Heer Hall, Kent Campus or you can fax it directly to our office at 330-672-5447.

Is there an age reduction benefit for the Group Term Life insurance like other insurances?

Yes, once an employee reaches the age of 65, reductions of the original value will begin. Age milestone reductions occur as follows:

Age Range Payable Percentage
65 to 69 65%
70 to 74 50%
75 and older 35%

Can I purchase additional Supplemental Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance for myself or my family?

Yes. Full-time employees who are covered by the Group Term Life and AD&D insurance program may also elect to purchase additional supplemental AD&D life insurance protection for themselves or a legally married spouse/registered domestic partner, and/or dependent children. The premiums for this additional supplemental life insurance are paid through payroll deduction with after-tax dollars.  IMPORTANT NOTE:  In order to be eligible under the family coverage of the plan, the spouse/domestic partner cannot be eligible as an employee under the plan. Under this stipulation, the Supplemental AD&D must be enrolled on an individual basis. Should coverage be requested for a child of a family unit who is employed at ºÚÁÏÍø, one may carry the Supplemental AD&D for family, but cannot cover the ºÚÁÏÍø employed spouse/domestic partner under the family plan. For further details, please visit the certificate links below.

Employees may elect additional AD&D life for themselves in increments of $25,000 up to a maximum of $1 million. No Evidence of Insurability (EOI) is required for this benefit.
