Don’t miss this deadline to get access to the UN Life Insurance Plan.
Staff members have 60 days from their date of employment to sign-up for life insurance without having to worry about submitting The Hartford’s "Evidence of Insurability" form. After your 60th day of employment, life insurance coverage is not guaranteed. Complete the forms listed – both for Life Insurance Enrollment and Beneficiary.
Don’t miss this deadline! Some staff need to do this within their first 31 days.
As noted on the UN Heath and Life Insurance website, all staff in the US or planning to seek care in the US frequently have one dental plan and two medical coverage options that ought to be reviewed carefully before making a selection:
Empire Blue Cross PPO
Aetna PPO
Cigna Dental PPO (dental coverage)
Internationally recruited staff outside the US can opt for medical and dental coverage with the UN Worldwide Plan
Locally recruited staff outside the US are automatically enrolled in UN MIP and may decide to enroll eligible family members now. Enrollment in UN MIP is mandatory for staff and provides medical and dental coverage.
In support of multilingualism, a UN priority, all United Nations staff (for free) may participate in language and communication skills courses in any of the six United Nations languages.
