Welcome, University System of Maryland employees!
Starting April 1, 2024, if you’re a Regular or CII employee working 20 hours or more per week, you can enroll in USM-sponsored MetLife Life & Long-Term Disability (LTD) benefits, make changes, or cancel your benefits anytime during the year.
How it works
Your financial confidence goes well beyond health coverage. Which is why we have made various enhanced coverage options available to you through MetLife. You can enjoy the same feeling of confidence provided by health insurance in other aspects of your life. Together, the benefits you choose can help insure what matters most to you.
Explore the enhanced policy options available to you below.
Enroll or review your USM-sponsored coverage information
Regular or Contingent II employees can enroll in these USM-sponsored benefits anytime throughout the year. If you are already enrolled, you can access your coverage information at any time.
If you are a new hire, you have 60 days to enroll in Life up to the guaranteed issue limit (Employee, $100,000 or Spouse $50,000) or Long term Disability coverage without the need to answer medical questions.

Your user ID will be your W-number (no dashes or spaces) and your initial PIN/password is the last four digits of your W-number + your four-digit birth year. If you logged in previously, please note that your password will be reset prior to start of annual enrollment in March.
For example, if your W-number is W0123456 and you were born in 1977, your user ID would be W0123456 and your PIN/password would be 34561977.
