Basic/AD&D Life Insurance
MSCS offers you basic life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance through Securian (formally Minnesota Life) so that you can protect those you love from the unexpected. The majority of the cost for this coverage is paid by MSCS. Your benefit amount will be 2 times your base annual salary (up to $300,000).
