As part of the total rewards package for eligible faculty and staff, the UM System provides several options for disability and life insurance. (Some life insurance options are also available to retirees.) Our goal is to help give you peace of mind. We want you to be your best, so you can do your best for the university and for your own professional life. In fact, the basic life and disability base plans are 100% university-paid—available at no cost to you. Even employee-paid options are offered at a reduced cost, because the university is able to negotiate a lower group rate.
