Overview
Employees working in an annual work period of 4.5 month - 11 months who are not enrolled in the 12 over 9 program, have a separate summer premium process. Premiums are collected in a lump sum or through other payment options to ensure coverage during the summer months. Most employees will pay 4 months of insurance premiums on their May pay to cover May, June, July, and August premiums. Alternatives are available in the following situations:
Alternatives
- Employee will have a full summer appointment, working in June, July, and August. In this case, the employee may have their premiums deducted from their summer pay. Contact your HR Professional to ensure they are made aware of this appointment by early April to make this change.
- Employee is terminating or retiring on or before May 31st. Those ending employment on or before May 31st may have the premium payment stopped, only collecting May premiums. Contact your HR Professional to ensure they are made aware of this appointment by early April to make this change.
- Employee does not earn enough to cover all summer insurance premiums on May pay. When an employee does not have enough to cover all summer insurance premiums on their May pay, they will be set up with monthly payments through the System Insurance Billing office.
The Summer Premium Process begins each Spring semester. Benefit & Retirement Services receive the list of all impacted employees and work within HROE to identify individuals who should not be paying all insurance premiums on their May pay. If no changes are made to an individual, all summer premiums will be collected on their May paycheck(s).
