Some background on 4207 health benefits
A health benefit plan became available in the Fall 2017 for Unit 1 members who are not graduate students. This was possible due to a major change to the Benefit Fund during Unit 1 Bargaining.
As of 2024, the Plan has become a Mandatory Plan for all Unit 1 members who work 195 hours or more in a term. The Plan now includes graduate students who are able to work the required number of hours. The member pays 30% of the cost of the benefits through payroll deduction.
An opt out is available for folks who have comparable coverage.
