MN Life

*  BASIC TERM LIFE/AD&D and VOLUNTARY TERM LIFE  *  Watch this VIDEO to hear about the life insurance changes

  1. If you are already enrolled in Basic Term Life Insurance and you are not adding any dependents nor are you waiving the coverage, you don't have to do anything.  You CANNOT INCREASE the level of coverage if you already have it.   If you are currently enrolled in medical (Blue Cross Blue Shield or Cigna), you already have this coverage.
  2. If you don't carry your medical insurance at TSU, you may now enroll in the Basic Term Life Insurance at 1.5 times your Annual Salary.   If you  are enrolled in medical coverage currently and you choose to waive the Basic Term Life Insurance, it is a PERMANENT decision unless you experience a Life Event (i.e. marriage/divorce/birth of child).  If you would like additional life insurance, you may enroll in Voluntary Term Life (see below).
  • When calculating the Life Insurance premiums, please keep in mind that the maximum you can get is $50,000 in Basic Term Life and $100,000 in Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) IF you are LESS than age 65 AND you make at least $35,000 annually.  For example, if you make $60,000 annually and you are 48 years old, you can request the maximium $50,000/$100,000.  
  • When calculating the Life Insurance premiums for annual salary amounts $34,000 and less, or if you are age 66+ at any salary, please click HERE to see the calculation examples.
  • You must make this election in Edison by logging in through MyTSU (see Instructions above)

Visit LifeBenefits to enroll in up to 7 times your annual salary in Voluntary Term Life Insurance; up to $30,000 for your spouse; $5,000 or $10,000 for your child(ren).  You will be required to present Evidence of Insurability through a health questionnaire and there are age restrictions.

  1. To access LifeBenefits, your User ID is 'TN plus your Edison ID number' (i.e. TN00301772).  This may be found on your CVS Caremark pharmacy card or by calling 615-963-7558.  Your initial password is your 8 digit date of birth (i.e. 03011972 for March 1, 1972) PLUS the last 4 digits of your social security number (i.e.7891).  So the password would be 030119727891, using this example.  Call 877-282-1936 if you need assistance.
