USM MetLife enrollment changes - April 1, 2024

USM MetLife coverages are now evergreen!

DEPARTMENT PAYROLL PREPARERS & APPROVERS: please share this information with your department employees. 

Good news! Employees no longer need to wait until the annual enrollment period to enroll in or make changes to their USM MetLife benefits. (USM = University System of Maryland)

Starting Monday, April 1, 2024, if you are a Regular or Contingent II (C2) employee, you can enroll in the USM-sponsored MetLife Term Life insurance & Long-Term Disability benefits, make changes, or cancel your benefits anytime during the year. 

Already enrolled and not interested in making changes? Your current coverage will continue seamlessly; no action is required.

If you are outside of your initial 60 days of USM employment and want to enroll in USM MetLife coverages, you will need to provide evidence of insurability (medical underwriting) to be approved for USM MetLife coverages. To complete your application, look for the "Start Your Statement of Health" button during enrollment.

MetLife will review your application and notify you of their decision and the effective date of your coverage.

Please note: USM MetLife coverages are not available in the SPS Workday system. Workday is the State's online system that administers State health benefits only. USM MetLife coverages can be found in the USM MetLife portal here: metlife.com/USMD.  

Enroll or review your USM MetLife benefits today at metlife.com/USMD. 

Attached is a flyer with more information.
