Now that Open Enrollment has ended, the WVU Benefits Strategy team would like to highlight some additional benefits that are available for faculty and staff to elect year-round — no need to wait for Open Enrollment or a qualifying life event.
These optional benefits are direct pay (not deducted via payroll) and are designed to support your well-being, financial security and peace of mind, adding flexibility and value beyond your core benefits.
• Pet Insurance — Protect yourself and your pets when the unexpected occurs with My Pet Protection from Nationwide.
• Identity Protection — Monitor and protect your personal information through Allstate Identity Protection with tools that detect fraud, alert you to suspicious activity, and provide support restoring your identity if needed.
• Auto, Home and Renters Insurance — Access competitive rates and group discounts on coverage for your car and home through various leading national carriers.
• Long-Term Care Resources — Unexpected, high-cost medical care and expenses can be a challenge — both now and in the future. LTCR monitors benefits and rate information from more than 25 top long-term care insurers in the U.S., helping you find the best coverage to fit your needs and budget.
• Perks Program — At no cost to you, a Perks membership gives you access to thousands of employee discounts, local and national deals and WVU employee exclusives through the University’s partnership with Perks. One valuable component of the Perks program is ‘Insurance & Benefits’ which includes access to additional direct pay benefits.
We encourage you to explore and take advantage of these benefits whenever the time is right for you. Visit the linked sites above to enroll directly with the carriers.
