Sharing the Cost for Coverage

 

You and the university share in the cost of your benefits coverage. The university pays the majority of the plan costs; you pay the balance.

When you enroll, you can use pre-tax dollars deducted from your paycheck to pay for the cost of your benefits.

With regard to taxes, the value of the premiums you pay for dependent life insurance and for more than $50,000 of life insurance for yourself are reported as taxable income on your W-2 form.
