Review Your Current Elections

Consider your current elections. If you don’t make any changes during enrollment to any of the benefits you’ve previously selected from the list below, you’ll keep your current coverage (e.g., same elections and coverage levels for you and your family members) at 2024 rates.

Here’s a list of what you can select or update during benefits enrollment:

Dental plans
  • Delta Dental Core DPPO Plan
  • Delta Dental Enhanced with Orthodontia DPPO Plan

Vision plan
  • EyeMed Vision Plan
Life insurance
  • Supplemental life: Additional coverage of up to 8 times your annual base salary, to a maximum benefit of $3,000,000 (basic and supplemental coverage combined)
  • Dependent life: Coverage for your spouse, domestic partner, and unmarried dependent child(ren) until the end of the year in which your dependent turns 26. Choose from two options:
    • Plan 1: $4,000 spouse or domestic partner; $2,000 per dependent child
    • Plan 2: $10,000 for your spouse or domestic partner; $5,000 per dependent child

What you need to know: JHU covers basic life insurance of $10,000 at no cost to you. If you are not a new hire and you elect supplemental life insurance coverage for the first time, you must provide evidence of insurability (EOI).

If you’re currently enrolled in supplemental life insurance, you may elect to move up one level of coverage up to a maximum of 4 times your annual base salary or $500,000 during annual enrollment without completing evidence of insurability (EOI).

Disability protection

Short-term disability: After 14 consecutive days, replaces 60% of your pay for up to 11 weeks (up to $2,500 weekly)

Long-term disability: After 90 consecutive days, replaces 60% of your pre-disability base salary (up to $10,000 monthly). JHU pays the full cost of long-term disability.

Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance

You can elect additional coverage for yourself and your family, which you pay for. Types of coverage include:

  • For you: Supplemental AD&D of up to 8 times your annual base salary, to a maximum benefit of $3,000,000
