ELIGIBILITY

Full Time Faculty:

Permanent full-time faculty and full-time temporary faculty are required to enroll in one of the SISC Blue Cross medical plans in the first 30 day of employment.  

Part-Time Faculty:

New part-time faculty may enroll, if eligible, during the first 30 days of the semester or at Open Enrollment. Part-time faculty can qualify in one of two ways:

    • Have a teaching assignment equal or greater than forty percent (40%) for the semester.
    • Maintain an average forty percent (40%) or greater teaching assignment over the previous two consecutive semesters. 

Part-time faculty who have previously declined coverage may enroll during Open Enrollment, or at the beginning of the semester if they gain eligibility. 

Part-time faculty who are eligible and wish to decline health coverage must fill out a Declination of Coverage Form at the time of hire and during open enrollment. If you lose your other health care coverage you may enroll if you notify the Insurance Office within 30 day of the loss.
