Life insurance benefits through VRS help offer peace of mind, ensuring that members’ families will have financial support.

Members are covered by the VRS Group Life Insurance Program from the first day of employment.

They are also eligible to purchase additional life insurance for themselves as well as spouses and dependent children through the Optional Group Life Insurance Program.

Securian Financial offers Benefit Scout^®, an online tool to help members choose the amount of VRS optional group life insurance coverage to meet their needs. Insurance products are issued by Minnesota Life Insurance Co.

Access Benefit Scout^® on the optional life insurance education website at securian.com/vrs-insurance. Find information about coverage options, rates, beneficiary designations and the process for answering health questions.

Accessing Benefit Scout^® requires logging in through myVRS. Once in myVRS, select Life Insurance under My History, then click Visit Securian in the right-hand sidebar.

Some VRS life insurance benefits, including optional coverage under certain conditions, can continue into retirement. Point members to varetire.org/life-insurance for details.
