Voluntary benefits to be highlighted Oct. 18-20

October 13, 2011

Companies participating in Purdue's voluntary benefits program will present information sessions on the West Lafayette campus Oct. 18 and Oct. 20. Between the two days of presentations, the companies will host a voluntary benefits fair on Oct. 19 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the East and West Faculty Lounges in Purdue Memorial Union. The companies will provide refreshments and giveaways at the fair.

The events will give faculty and staff the opportunity to gather information before the Oct. 24-Nov. 23 benefits open enrollment, during which employees may enroll in any voluntary benefits they find valuable.

Voluntary benefits provide the value of group insurance rates and the convenience of payroll deduction on a variety of extra benefits that are not part of Purdue’s core lineup. Benefits-eligible faculty, staff and graduate staff are eligible to enroll.

Participating companies are:
* Delta Dental.
* Hyatt Legal Plans.
* MetLife (home and auto insurance).
* Trustmark (accident insurance and universal life).
* Unum (critical illness).
