The University covers all full-time faculty and staff with a travel accident life insurance policy. This policy, underwritten by Zurich American Insurance Company, covers full-time faculty and staff when traveling for University business. This is at no cost to you and is in addition to the basic life insurance coverage already provided.
The coverage amount is up to $100,000 for Class II employees; and up to $250,000 for Class I. Faculty and staff are automatically covered, there is no enrollment required, and the beneficiary will be the same as designated on the group term life insurance policy that the University provides (the current carrier is The Hartford).
In addition to the travel accident life insurance, Zurich offers a value-added service called Travel Assist Services. This is a comprehensive travel assistance program offering you benefits and services when traveling 100 miles or more from your residence. Reference NMU Policy number: GTU 1293946
