The University funds a large portion of health insurance costs for eligible employees. The costs to each employee depend upon the plan selected and the percentage of time worked. When to Apply Employees must apply for this insurance within thirty days of employment.
Coverage is effective the first of the following month.
If employees do not apply during the first thirty days of employment, they must wait until the May annual enrollment for coverage the following July 1. However, if a higher level of coverage is chosen, the employee pays the difference between the Basic Plan and the option selected. See the Comparison of University Health Care Plans for more detailed information on each plan.
