When Coverage Begins All eligible employees have coverage on the first day of the month coinciding with, or following the date of hire. An application must be submitted to Human Resources and the employee must be actively at work when coverage begins. If the employee does not enroll within 31 days of becoming eligible, proof of good health must be provided. The university pays most of the cost of medical coverage with the employee paying the balance of the cost by payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis.
Retirees pay the full cost of the plan.
Contact Human Resources or refer to collective bargaining agreements for exact monthly premiums. While on Leave of Absence or Upon Termination Continuation of coverage is available upon termination or an approved leave of absence. All other leaves of absence require the employee to pay the full monthly premium based on the payment schedule established with Human Resources. Contact Human Resources for the schedule of premiums.
