Own Your Benefits: Life Insurance Changes Effective January 1, 2024
UNI’s term life insurance coverage is changing effective January 1. The new coverage amount for each eligible employee is determined by each individual's fringe benefit salary.
- For those who make less than $84,000, their coverage amount will be two (2) times their annual fringe benefits salary, up to a maximum of $126,000.
- For those who make more than $84,000, their coverage amount will be one and a half (1.5) times their annual fringe benefits salary, up to a maximum of $300,000.
This change provides a greater benefit amount for all eligible employees. Please remember to designate beneficiaries through Benefits Self-Service by choosing ‘My Beneficiaries’ when logging in.

Own Your Benefits: FREE COVID-19 Test Kits
Beginning September 25 U.S. households can order four rapid COVID-19 test kits. We ask that when possible, you use the free options for test kits as the kits are not charged to our self-insured health plans (which impacts employee premiums). Please visit COVID.gov for more information on ordering, as well as how to tell if your COVID-19 tests' expiration dates have been extended.
