Part-Time Faculty Insurance Payment System for Summer Term

f you are currently enrolled in the college group health insurance plans, you will have to make sure your payments to your group health insurance policy are made during any months you don't receive a bi-weekly paycheck.  This means if you are teaching a shorter term this summer, or not teaching at all this summer, you will have to make payments toward your health insurance premiums.

Our agreement with the college calls for them to continue to pay the employer contribution of $250 per month for up to one term in which a teacher is not teaching, which for many will be summer term.  However, you will still be responsible for paying the remainder of your health insurance premiums above the $250 monthly cap. 

The college has set up an online payment system for employee contributions to health insurance, using the same system that students pay their tuition and other bills with (scroll down for the steps below).  Although we requested a pay-in-advance plan, where faculty could make one payment to cover all of the summer term, HR maintained that payments could only be made on a monthly basis.  If you miss a payment for employee contribution, the college will cover it, but they will then send any unpaid bills to a collections agency. 

We hope to further improve the system of part-time health benefits, particularly during our upcoming round of negotiations starting in fall.  It is important that everyone who is eligible for a group health insurance plan at the college, whether you are accessing coverage or waiving it, look closely at the information you receive from HR this summer.
