The State University System works continuously to increase the benefits you receive as a state employee. The university contributes approximately 32 percent of your gross salary to the payment of your retirement, social security, state health and state life insurance costs. Some of the benefit plans have limited enrollment periods. If you do not enroll within this time period, you may only enroll during the annual open enrollment period. It is important to note that some benefits are not normally available during the annual open enrollment period.
All plans provide hospitalization, physician and pharmaceutical coverage.
The state pays a portion of the premium for all covered employees. You must notify Human Resources in order to participate. You must enroll for health insurance within 60 days of employment. Pre-tax premiums are paid in advance by payroll deduction and your coverage is effective on the first day of the month following enrollment. You may also utilize non-participating physicians with a difference in the amount of coverage.
