Insurance Benefits

    Benefits Eligibility and Qualified Life Status Changes

    All full-time employees are eligible for coverage under the University’s medical, dental and life insurance programs beginning on the first day of the month following the first day of work. Registration in these plans is NOT automatic. No participation can begin without completion of the required enrollment materials, either during your New Employee Orientation, during the annual Open Enrollment Period (generally in April with choices in effect June 1-May 31) or within 31 days of a Life Status Change. Important Note: The open enrollment period is the only time during the year when you can enroll, cancel coverage, add or remove dependents, and change supplemental or dependent life insurance. The only exception to this is if you have a “Qualified Life Status Change,” which is further described in the Pathways brochure.
