The SHBP Family Plan

The SHBP Family Plan covers a student’s spouse or same-sex domestic partner, and/or unmarried dependent children under age 26.

To purchase the family plan and enroll eligible family members, you must be personally enrolled in the SHBP. A marriage certificate (or, for domestic partners, an Affidavit of Domestic Partnership) and birth certificates for qualifying dependents are required to enroll in the family plan. Enrollments may take up to 20 business days to process.

Family plan enrollments must be renewed annually each fall by filling out the Enrollment Form.

Before the end of the add/drop period, bring forms to University Health Services, mail them to us at the address below, or fax them to 413-577-5023.
