Unveiling the Multifaceted Benefits of the UConn Alumni Association
The University of Connecticut Alumni Association offers a wide array of benefits designed to support its graduates throughout their lives. These benefits encompass various aspects, from insurance and healthcare to legal assistance and opportunities for giving back to the university. This article delves into the specifics of these benefits, providing a comprehensive overview of the resources available to UConn alumni.
Navigating Long-Term Care with LTCRplus
One of the most valuable benefits available to UConn alumni is access to LTCRplus, a service designed to help navigate the complexities of long-term care. Long-term care presents significant emotional and financial challenges for individuals and their families. LTCRplus offers complimentary enrollment, providing guidance over the phone or online, depending on the user's preference.
This service assists in several key areas:
- Finding suitable care providers and facilities: LTCRplus helps locate the best care providers or facilities based on specific needs, ensuring that alumni and their families receive appropriate support.
- Evaluating financial options: The service evaluates all available options to protect assets and manage the costs associated with long-term care, offering exclusive group discounts to help alumni save money.
- Creating essential legal documents: LTCRplus assists in creating crucial legal documents, such as Living Wills and Powers of Attorney, which are essential for planning for the future.
- Assessing current care situations: The service can assess existing care arrangements, whether in a facility or at home, to ensure that proper care is being received nationwide.
Kristi B., a UConn alumna, shared her positive experience with the LTCRplus Legal resource: "The Legal benefit was quick and easy to use. When my mother’s health was declining, we realized she did not even have a Will. The LTCRplus Legal resource helped us create a valid Will, plus a Medical Directive for her, and it didn’t cost us a dime. I was able to share these documents with my husband and my sister in another state so they could review it. Thanks for this great benefit."

Health Insurance
The Alumni Association provides access to individual and family health insurance plans from the nation's top carriers, tailored to meet diverse needs. Alumni can find individual and family health insurance plans in the eHealth Marketplace, comparing coverage and choosing healthcare options that fit their budget. These plans offer a range of coverage options to suit different needs and budgets, ensuring that alumni have access to quality healthcare.
Life Insurance
Recognizing that one life insurance plan does not fit all, the UConn Alumni Insurance Program offers a variety of choices, including term life insurance plans with coverage up to $3 million. These plans often come with special member-only rates, lower premiums, and convenient plan choices. The UConn alumni benefits entitle individuals to coverage not available to the general public. Additionally, Long Term Disability insurance is available, providing a monthly benefit if an alumnus's ability to earn an income is interrupted by a covered injury or illness.
Farmers Insurance Choice
UConn alumni have special access to Farmers Insurance Choice. They can get personalized insurance quotes, then save with automated payments, good driver rewards, and multi-policy discounts.

Giving Back: Creating a Lasting Legacy
The UConn Alumni Association provides numerous avenues for alumni to give back to the university, supporting future generations of students and contributing to the institution's continued success.
Scholarships
Many alumni and friends choose to donate to scholarships for unique and personal reasons. Some alumni give back to pay it forward for financial support they received while attending college. For others, it’s how they say “thank you” for a life-changing experience they had at UConn.
The Alumni Association encourages alumni to partner with them to create scholarships that reflect what they love most about UConn and deliver the impact they envision. Giving options are available that make an impact today, after your lifetime, or both. Anyone can contribute, and there are multiple ways to create or contribute to one without using cash. To learn more, alumni can contact the association to discuss their philanthropic goals and explore the various giving options available.
