Dependent Life Insurance
You may purchase life insurance coverage for your spouse and dependent children. You pay the full cost of this coverage.

Disability Insurance
Disability coverage provides you with a specific amount of replacement income if you become disabled and are unable to work. You may purchase short-term and long-term disability coverage.

  • A waiting period of 7 calendar days will apply before short-term disability payments begin, with a maximum of 165 days of coverage
  • Long-term disability benefits are payable on the 181st day of disability and may continue to age 65

Maximum benefits coverage limits apply. You are responsible for the full cost of this benefit but Upsher-Smith will increase your income by the amount of your long-term disability premium to help offset the cost of this benefit.

Flexible Spending Accounts
The Health Care Account allows you to pay for certain medical/dental expenses not covered by your Benefit Plan on a pre-tax basis.

The Dependent Care Account lets you set aside money on a pre-tax basis for certain dependent care expenses.
