Benefited UMass employees may be eligible for life insurance coverage in a number of ways based on their employment type. Life insurance provides financial protection for the beneficiaries of covered employees in the case of an employee's death and can also provide an "accelerated death benefit" that results in partial payment of life insurance to the employee while they are alive.
