Long-term disability coverage is provided through Northwestern Mutual. Coverage begins the first day of the month coinciding with or following date of hire. This is at no cost to employee.

Retirement is through TIAA (Teachers Insurance Annuity Association). Participation is MANDATORY. 6% is deducted from the employee’s pay on a pre-tax basis and 6% is contributed by the organization, thus making a 12% total contribution to an employee’s retirement fund.
There is also an option for employees to begin a supplemental retirement account and have additional non-matched funds submitted to the retirement plan. To do this, employees must notify the Benefits Coordinator. To be vested (retain employer’s portion of contributions), employees must remain employed with Marshall Health and be a participant in the plan for three years.
