Supplemental features are also available to enhance your employees' comprehensive financial security. Basic life insurance pays survivor benefits upon the death of the insured person in a wide range of schedules from which you can choose.
Extra protection is available in the form of optional coverage paid for by employees who select it.
Employees can supplement their basic group insurance with extra coverage from a range of schedules, depending on your institution's plan. Dependent coverage makes it possible for employees to insure the lives of their spouses and unmarried children, while retiree coverage allows your institution to extend group life eligibility to employees even after they leave the workplace. Finally, insured staff members who terminate their employment at your institution can convert their group coverage to a TIAA-CREF individual life policy within 30 days without taking a medical examination or submitting proof of good health.
