Health Insurance

Regular Full-time Employees are eligible for medical and dental insurance coverage under the College's group policy. Currently, the College pays one hundred percent (100%) of the medical and dental insurance premium for Employees. Dependent coverage is available at an additional charge. Employees should consult the Medical and Dental Benefits Summary Plan Description in the Human Resources Office for more complete information about eligibility and the details of the College's medical and dental insurance plan.

Eligible Employees can enroll in the health insurance plan subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement between the College and its insurance carrier.

If you are enrolled in the health insurance plan and change to an employment classification that would make you no longer eligible, you may be able to continue your health care benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). See the Benefits Continuation (COBRA) Policy in this handbook or the Human Resources Office for more information.

When you become eligible for health insurance, you will receive a Summary Plan Description and rate information. If you have questions about our health insurance plan, contact the Human Resources Office for more information.
