In addition to basic life insurance, Illinois State University faculty and staff have the option of electing additional life insurance coverage for themselves and their eligible dependents. Life insurance is provided through Minnesota Life. When a member requests to increase Member Optional Life, or requests to add Spouse Life or Child Life coverage, an approved Statement of Health application is required. If approved, coverage will be effective the date the statement of health was approved by the life insurance plan administrator. A statement of health is not required for newborns added within 60 days of birth, or for newly-acquired dependents (including a spouse, civil union partner, adopted child, stepchild, child of civil union partner or child for whom the employee has obtained legal guardianship) added within 60 days of the qualifying event.
