MIT currently offers discounts for eligible employees on home, property, auto, and other liability insurance through Farmers Insurance Group®. You pay the full cost of these policies.
The discounts include up to a 26% discount on Massachusetts automobile insurance and up to a 25% discount on Massachusetts property insurance when you insure both automobile and property with Farmers®.
Special group rates also apply in other states on automobile, homeowner, and other property and liability insurance through Farmers®.
Please note that due to low participation and a highly competitive insurance market, this benefit will be discontinued effective July 1, 2024.
MIT benefits-eligible employees with current Farmers® insurance policies will be able to retain those policies and continue to pay for them through MIT payroll deduction.
New policies (home, renters, or auto) through this program will no longer be available as of July 1, 2024.
