As an employee of Christopher Newport University, you are entitled to group life insurance that is administered through the Virginia Retirement System and paid for by Christopher Newport University. The amount of your group life insurance equals your salary rounded up to the nearest thousand multiplied by two; for example, an employee currently making $25,400 would be entitled to $52,000 worth of group life insurance ($26,000 x 2 = $52,000). There are additional benefits associated with your basic group life policy. The optional group life insurance is administered through the Virginia Retirement System. As an employee, you may choose to purchase additional life insurance on yourself; yourself and your spouse; or, yourself, your spouse and your children through payroll deduction. Coverage is equal to one, two, three or four times your salary depending on what you choose. Should you elect to enroll, you must complete the Optional Group Life application and submit it to Human Resources within 31 days of hire in order to not have to complete an evidence of insurability form. Additionally, if you elect coverage in excess of one times your salary and would like coverage on your spouse, your spouse must complete an evidence of insurability form, and be approved for coverage through Minnesota Life. While the coverage is being approved, their cost and coverage will be based on .5 times your salary. The cost of the additional life insurance is based on your age and your salary. The Office of Human Resources will assist you with calculating the costs should you wish to enroll.Group Life Insurance
