UC offers three benefits packages - Full, Mid level and Core. Benefit eligibility depends on the type of job, percentage, and the length of appointment
UC offers three supplemental insurance options — Accident, Critical Illness and Hospital Indemnity plans administered by Prudential. Supplemental health plans are not substitutes for medical or disability coverage, but they can provide an extra layer of financial protection against the unexpected.
At one time or another you may need legal advice, but high legal fees might prevent you or your family members from getting necessary assistance. UC offers a prepaid legal insurance plan that can help you with routine preventative or defense matters. See the Legal Plan section of UCnet for more information about Legal Insurance and contact information.
The Tax Savings on Insurance Premiums (TIP) program allows you to pay your monthly health plan costs (if any) on a pretax, salary reduction basis. If you have an employee monthly cost for your health plan, you are automatically enrolled in TIP and your salary is reduced by the amount of your monthly cost. This arrangement continues unless you cancel your participation in TIP.
For more information about this plan, visit UCnet TIP.
COBRA
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) provides for continued coverage for a certain period of time at applicable monthly COBRA rates for UC employees and their families who lose group health coverage.
