Death Benefits - Faculty

If a faculty with an appointment of at least 50% time dies while in active service, his or her salary will be paid up to and including the date of death.

In addition, a benefit-eligible spouse (or, in the absence of a spouse, group term life insurance beneficiary, if no beneficiaries listed, the estate) will be paid:

• an amount equivalent to one month’s wages, including any holiday or recess days that may fall within the 30-calendar-day period immediately following the death.

Note: If a staff member has no spouse and assigned different beneficiaries for the basic and supplemental life, the one-month wage will be paid to the basic life beneficiary.
