How many hours a week do I need to work to receive health insurance?
Health insurance is provided by the University. Anyone eligible for a tuition waiver also gets basic health care coverage. In general, working one 20- hour appointment per year will give you Basic and SHIP coverage at a reduced rate for the entire calendar year. Working one 10-hour appointment per year will give you 95% waivers for Basic and SHIP fees for one 6-month coverage period. Working one 10-hour appointment in the fall and one 10- hour in the spring will earn you waivers for Basic and SHIP fees for the whole year. Check the GEO website for information about Family and Domestic Partner Coverage.
