Voluntary life insurance can only be increased during open enrollment or in the event of a qualifying life event. During these times you may increase your coverage in increments of $1,000, up to $500,000. Employees either electing coverage for the first time or increasing coverage must complete an Evidence of Insurability Form.

  • This plan contains a premium waiver. If you become disabled and are no longer able to work, your premiums will be waived during the period of disability.

Child Benefit

This life benefit can be purchased in increments of $1,000 up to a maximum of $10,000.  Employees can only elect dependent life insurance (spouse and child) if they have elected voluntary life insurance for themselves.

Metro SmarTrip

Marymount has partnered with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) to offer employees transit and parking benefits using Metro SmarTrip cards.

Payroll Deduction – The amount you designate for this benefit will be deducted on a pre-tax basis from your paycheck of up to $300 per month for transit or up to $300 for parking.  The SmarTrip card can be used to ride the Metro bus Metro rail, and pay for parking at area Metro stations.

How it works:

  • Employees choose the amount they want deducted from their bi-weekly paycheck for transit and/or parking expenses by completing the enrollment form and submitting it through Workday to Human Resource Services. The amount of the deduction, subject to the applicable limits, is not taxable.
  • The payroll deduction is taken out prior to receiving your monthly SmarTrip dollars. If you submit your form through Workday to the Human Resources Office before the 15th of the month, your benefit will be effective on the first of the following month.
  • You must claim your SmarTrip Dollars each month by adding it to your card at a Passes/Farecard Metro machine. If the money is not added to your card by the last day of the month, that money will roll-over.
