Insurance Plans

If you are a benefits-eligible full-time employee working 30-40 hours per week, you are automatically enrolled in the Basic Coverage Package, at the employee only level. Once your enrollment is complete, benefits are effective as of your hire date. UT Dallas and the State of Texas will pay 100% of your employee-only premiums for the Basic Coverage Package, so you get these benefits with no out-of-pocket costs.

For our benefits-eligible part-time employees working 20-29 hours per week, UT Dallas and the State of Texas will pay 50% of your employee-only premiums for the Basic Coverage Package. Once your enrollment is complete, benefits are effective as of your hire date.

Basic Coverage Package for Eligible Employees Includes:

Full-Time employees automatically enrolled at the employee only level.

Premium Sharing Plan

If you are a benefits-eligible employee with coverage under another group health plan or covered under the UTD Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) and decide to waive the Basic Coverage Package, you could be eligible for our Premium Sharing Plan. Full-time employees who waive the basic coverage package and enroll in premium sharing are eligible to use $390.12/month in premium sharing credits to cover the cost of their Dental, Vision, and AD&D plans. Part-time colleagues are eligible for $195.06/month in premium sharing credits. To be eligible for premium sharing, you must upload proof of alternate group coverage at the time of your online enrollment. Individual policies or coverage through the Marketplace Exchange are not eligible plans for this benefit.

You must make your insurance elections during the Annual Enrollment Period, July 15-31, or within 31 calendar days from your employment start date, change of status date, or life event date. All insurance elections are completed in the online My UT Benefits enrollment system. If adding dependents, you must upload proof of relationship documents to verify their eligibility.

Optional Insurance Benefits

Eligible employees who would like to add coverage beyond the basic package may enroll themselves and eligible dependents in the following optional insurance benefits:
