How to Enroll in ACA Coverage
You are eligible for ACA coverage if you are a temporary employee working at least 30 hours per week or a temporary faculty member teaching at least 11 credits per semester.
As a new ACA coverage-eligible employee, you will receive an email notification when the myBenefits portal is open for you to select your benefits. You will have 30 days from your first date of work to enroll in benefits and provide required documentation.
What coverage is available?
ACA coverage is limited to medical and prescription drug only. You may select between the Standard PPO and the High Deductible Plan. Dental and vision coverage are not included.
Who can I enroll on my coverage?
Coverage is only available for you and your dependent children. You will be required to submit documentation for any dependent children. If you do not submit documentation within 30 days of your first day of work, any children listed will not be added to your coverage.
Your spouse or other eligible adult are not eligible for ACA coverage.
How much will coverage cost?
ACA coverage is not subsidized by U of I, meaning you are responsible for the full cost
