Public Employees Benefit Board Flexible Benefit Program
 

Faculty members working at least half time (.5 FTE) per term on appointments of 90 days or longer are eligible for insurance benefits. A comprehensive flexible benefit program is offered which allows employees to choose insurance plans best suited to their personal circumstances.

New employees should contact the Employee Benefits office prior to or immediately upon employment to schedule attendance at a benefits orientation session. These informal sessions are scheduled monthly.

   

Health/Dental Insurance

  Several comprehensive medical insurance plans and health maintenance organizations are offered to employees and their family members. In general, an employee's "benefit dollars" are sufficient to cover these costs, except for a modest portion of the family coverage premium. Three dental insurance plans are offered. Vision coverage is included in most medical plans.
     
Life Insurance
  Several group insurance plans are offered to provide coverage for employee, spouse, and dependent life, and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D).
     
Disability Insurance
  Short-term and long-term income protection plans are offered to faculty members at group rates. Disability insurance provides income when employees are ill or disabled and unable to work.
     
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
 

A faculty member may set up an FSA account to pay out-of-pocket child or dependent care expenses from pre-tax dollars. FSA accounts are regulated by the Internal Revenue Service.

New employees must enroll in the flexible benefit program within 60 days of the date of hire. Benefits are effective the first day of the month following the hire date and receipt of enrollment forms by the Employee Benefits office. Employees may reselect insurance plans annually during open enrollment.

     
Retirement
  Academic and professional employees become eligible for a choice of retirement plans if they are in positions expected to work 600 hours or more in a calendar year.
