Who is eligible for benefits?

...

Benefits-eligible faculty members that are assigned to work during the spring semester (January 16 - May 31) are eligible for insurance coverage during the summer months of June, July, and August, as long as they maintain benefits-eligible employment and regardless of whether they receive pay during the summer months. Eligibility for benefits requires appointment in an eligible position for both 20 hours or more per week and at least 4.5 months' continuous duration.

...

Eligibility for and calculation of the Summer Insurance Deduction is based on the Pay Group of the Primary Job in Workday. In general, deductions are tied to the Primary Job.

Pre-payment

If a faculty job is the primary position and the faculty member is not enrolled in salary spread, any out-of-pocket premiums due for summer insurance are automatically deducted from their June 1 paycheck. This means they will pay for four months of insurance on their June 1 paycheck, which includes payment for May and pre-payment for June - August. See more at HR: Summer Coverage for Faculty.

Pre-payment cancellation

If the faculty member will have a benefits-eligible position from June 1-August 31, then they may opt out of pre-payment by following the instructions at HR: Summer Coverage for Faculty > Pre-Payment Cancellation. The faculty member is responsible for submitting the request and any required documentation by the deadline stated on that web page.
