Summer benefits premium collections

Faculty and staff on academic or 9‑month appointments will have premiums and surcharges collected from the last paychecks before the break occurs. For those on academic 9‑month appointments and a summer break, these collections will occur on the two May paychecks:

Summer premiums for life insurance will be collected from the first May paycheck. Medical premiums and any surcharges will be collected from the second May paycheck. The lump sum premium will be the equivalent of seven pay periods (one May contribution; all June, July, and August premiums).

For individuals on other less-than-12‑month appointments (9.5‑, 10‑, or 11‑month appointments), deduction dates will vary based on when the break occurs.
