The benefits plans contained in your Faculty and Staff Benefits
Handbook are organized into several main sections.
Your benefits plans are designed to provide:
• Protection against the high cost of health and dental care
• Protection of your income in case you become totally and permanently
disabled and cannot work
• Financial assistance for your survivors if you die
• An income for your retirement and other future financial needs
• Assistance with educational expenses for you and your
family members
• Other benefits and opportunities to help you fulfill personal and
professional needs
This handbook explains each benefit plan in detail and will answer questions
you may have now or in the future when you need a particular benefit.
You and your family members should review the handbook carefully.
As you read the handbook, please keep in mind that we have summarized
your benefits; we have not included every detail. If you have questions
about any of the information in this handbook, contact Human Resources
at 617-353-2380 or by email at HR@bu.edu.
