Life Insurance

The University of Miami offers faculty and staff Group Life Insurance equaling two times the base salary rounded to the nearest $1,000 to a maximum of $100,000. You are covered immediately upon employment.

If you were employed prior to June 1, 2010 and your base salary exceeded $50,000 on May 31, 2010 (May 28, 2010 for bi-weekly staff), your maximum life insurance benefit is the amount of life insurance in effect at that time.

Please note: The Internal Revenue Service requires that the University tax the value of your University-paid life insurance over $50,000. The amount of life insurance over $50,000 is converted to a taxable amount using a table provided by the U.S. Treasury Department. Tax is calculated on that amount and deducted automatically from your paychecks.
