VRS members are provided the following: (a) a natural death benefit in the amount of double the annual salary rounded to the next highest thousand; (b) a benefit of twice the salary for accidental loss of one or more limbs or of eyesight; and (c) coverage at the level of four times the salary for accidental death. For service retirees, the plan also provides 25 percent of the original value of insurance at the time of retirement for each service retiree. The cost of the benefit is paid entirely by the University. Since the Life Insurance program is a group term plan, insurance coverage stops 31 days after termination for reasons other than service or disability retirement. The insurance may be converted to an individual policy with Minnesota Life Insurance Company if application is made within 31 days after termination of employment.
