Benefit Scout Streamlines Process of Choosing Optional Life Coverage
VRS life insurance benefits offer peace of mind by helping ensure members’ families are financially protected. If you offer this program, all employees are automatically enrolled in the VRS Group Life Insurance Program on their first day of employment.
Additionally, they are eligible to purchase extra coverage for themselves, their spouses and dependent children through the Optional Group Life Insurance Program.
