Dependent Life

Dependent life insurance is a benefit that will be paid to you if your spouse (equivalent) and/or child dies. MedMutual Life Insurance Company quotes the same price tag for covering just a spouse (equivalent) or an entire family, because it is more cost effective.

You can choose from two levels of coverage:

  • $5,000 spouse/$1,000 each child
  • $10,000 spouse/$2,000 each child

No person may be covered both as a Case Western Reserve University employee and as a dependent of an employee, and no person may be covered as a dependent of more than one employee. If you and your spouse both work for the university, you may not elect the spousal life insurance and only one of you may elect dependent life insurance for your children. Coverage for spouse ends when they reach age 85. Please notify Benefits Administration to stop deductions for Dependent Life.
