In recognition of the recent changes to the university sponsored term life insurance program, I asked our state affiliate Florida Education Association (FEA) and our national affiliate American Federation of Teachers (AFT) to find a better source of term life insurance for UFF members.

Met Life, the endorsed life insurance carrier of AFT + Member Benefits, is providing a special enrollment window until January 28, 2013 to allow UFF members to purchase term life insurance protection for up to 2x salary on a Guaranteed Issue basis.   There will be no medical questions, exams, or blood tests.  As long as you are actively at work (not disabled) and an AFT member in good standing, you will  be accepted into the program.  In addition, if you are applying for $100,000 or more and are a nonsmoker, you will automatically qualify for the new, preferred rates.  For example, the premium for $100,000 for a 30 year old nonsmoker is just $4 per month.  The rate for a 40 year old is $7 and $15 for a 50 year old.  Plus, each enrollee receives free will preparation service from the Hyatt Legal Plan.

You will be receiving additional plan details and an enrollment package via US Mail in the very near future.  Please consider this special offer as you make your insurance choices.
