SIGNING UP

IF THE FELLOWSHIP IS PAYING FOR THE HEALTH INSURANCE

If the Fellowship is paying for the health insurance, the Project Director/Co Project Director must complete the Health Insurance section on the Academic Fellowship Form, indicating Grant Pay.

The campus department will forward the Academic Fellowship Formto the Human Resources Services, Payroll Office. Upon receipt of a copy of the Academic Fellowship Form from the Payroll office, the Office of Grants Management will enter a separate Labor Schedule into the Oracle system to encumber grant funds for the cost of the Fellow's health insurance. Biweekly payments will be charged to the grant from this encumbrance. Health Insurance will terminate upon termination on the Fellowship.

The Fellow must complete this Benefits Enrollment Form and submit it to Human Resources. (Do not attach the Benefits Enrollment form to the Academic Fellowship Form). To ensure coverage, the fellow must enroll within 30 days of becoming eligible.

IF YOU ARE PAYING FOR THE HEALTH INSURANCE

Completethis Benefits Enrollment Formand submit it to Human Resources. The health insurance premiums will be deducted from your check bi-weekly.

Once your application is processed, the insurance carrier will send the Health Insurance ID card to the address you indicated on your Benefits Enrollment Form.
