The State of Illinois provides each eligible employee, at no cost, one unit of term insurance, a unit equaling the employee's base annual salary. The employee may elect additional coverage of up to 8 units of term life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance. State term life insurance includes a provision allowing payment of up to half the policy's face value to a terminally ill employee whose life expectancy is 6 months or less. Spouse coverage of up to $10,000 and dependent child coverage of $10,000 is also available. The optional employee life insurance is portable upon termination of employment.
University employees may also purchase university-sponsored term life insurance in units of $5,000, up to five times the employee's annual salary or $200,000, whichever is less. Also available is spouse coverage up to $200,000 (but not to exceed the amount purchased for the employee), child coverage up to $10,000, and individual or full family accidental death and dismemberment insurance.
Definition for eligible employee: The state health, dental, and life insurance benefits are available to employees hired into permanent positions at 50% time or more for a period of at least eight months. If, however, an employee is hired at 50% time or more and the contract is for less than eight months, due to fiscal constraints or grant restrictions, health, dental, and life benefits may be provided if it is the intention of the hiring department to continue the employment.
