Contractual employees of the University are designated as either Contingent I or Contingent Category II. Both categories are eligible for subsidized health and prescription drug benefit coverage. Benefits for all contractual employees are post-tax.
Health and Prescription Drug Coverage
The State of MD will offer subsidized health and prescription coverage for contractual employees who have a current employment contract and are scheduled to regularly work 30 or more hours a week. The State will subsidize 75% of the benefit premiums for these benefits. The employee is responsible for paying the remaining 25% of premiums for medical and prescription coverage for themselves and any eligible dependents enrolled.
Contractual employees who have a current employment contract and work 30 or more hours a week may also elect to enroll in dental coverage, life insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, but will be responsible to pay the full premium for these benefits.
Contractual employees working less than 30 hours a week may enroll in the State of MD Benefit Plans at the full premium amount with no State subsidy.
