As a reminder, all benefit eligible employees are offered a $100,000 life insurance policy automatically. The cost of this coverage is paid for by the University of Alaska. There are imputed taxes on Basic Life Insurance and more information on the tax considerations can be found on our website. Employees can also elect Supplemental Life Insurance to cover themselves (the employee), their spouse/Financially Interdependent Partner (FIP), or child(ren). Empathy covers all of these plans at no cost.
