General Information

Regular full time and regular part time employees (who are budgeted for at least 20 hours a week) are eligible to participate in the dental insurance plan, subject to the waiting period and other eligibility qualifications. In general, these employees become eligible to participate in the University's dental insurance plan effective on the first of the month following one (1) month of employment in a benefit eligible position. Dental insurance premiums may be deducted on a pre-tax basis.

Employees will be provided detailed information about this benefit as they become eligible. The specific eligibility requirements and provisions of coverage are detailed in the summary plan documents prepared by the insurance provider. These and other plan documents will be the final determinant of eligibility and coverage.
