Termination of Employment


Benefit plan coverage ceases at the end of the month in which termination of University employment occurs. For example, if your last day worked is July 31, then your Benefit plan coverage would cease on July 31.

An employee may convert AD&D and Basic Term Life Insurance coverage to an individual policy directly with the sponsoring insurance company following termination of University employment. An employee may continue Supplemental Term Life Insurance coverage under a portability feature. An employee may continue health, dental and vision coverage for up to a specified period of time through Cobra. Short Term Disability (STD) and Long Term Disability (LTD) coverage stops at termination of employment. Tuition benefits may be continued through the end of the term of study only.
