Life insurance protects your beneficiary from financial hardship in the event of your death. Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) provides a benefit if you die due to an accident or if you have suffered a loss of functionality. Seattle University pays 100% of the premium for Basic Life and AD&D insurance. Eligible faculty and staff are automatically covered for the equivalent of annual pay (rounded up to the nearest $1,000) with a maximum of $50,000 coverage per plan. You may choose to purchase additional amounts of insurance for yourself or eligible family members.
