Life and long-term disability insurance

Life Insurance

Our Group Life Insurance Plan, administered by Sun Life Financial, provides your family with valuable financial protection in the event of your death or the death of a covered dependent. The plan includes a university-provided basic life insurance benefit that helps protect your family in the event of your death. If you are eligible for basic life insurance, you will also have travel assistance coverage. In addition, a university-provided accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) benefit is payable if you die as a result of a covered accident while you’re on the job. For added protection, you can purchase additional supplemental life insurance coverage for yourself and/or your eligible dependents. 

Long-Term Disability Insurance

WSU provides long-term disability (LTD) insurance coverage to eligible employees at no cost.  Long-term disability insurance through New York Life Group Benefit Solutions (formerly CIGNA) provides a monthly income.
