Spouse/Partner and Dependent Life Insurance
Instructions and Information for
Completing Your Personal Enrollment

These instructions will assist you in completing your Personal Enrollment for The University of Iowa Benefits Program.

Spouse/Partner and Dependent Life Insurance

This program allows you to obtain life insurance for your spouse/partner and/or your children.  Term life insurance coverage is available for your spouse, and dependents (14 days to the end of the month in which they reach
26 years old, unless the dependent is disabled; if dependent is disabled and classified as a dependent for tax purposes, there is no maximum age for coverage).  If you would like to participate you have the choice of six programs. Each selection gives your spouse and/or dependents the life insurance as noted. The next column to the right gives the monthly cost of your selection. If you do not want to participate in this program, enter the number “90” on the “Option Code” line. Once you have made your selection, enter the appropriate number on the “Option Code” line. No beneficiary designation is required, as the employee will always be the beneficiary in case of the death of a spouse and/or dependent.
