RA/ TA/ GA HEALTH INSURANCE CREDIT
Eligible Coral Gables campus graduate students (RA/TA/GAs, Fellows, and Trainees who are enrolled in Ph.D., D.M.A. and M.F.A programs) are eligible for 60% toward the annual cost of the Student Health insurance plan. Students are eligible for 60% of the cost as long as they have a payroll assignment. If a student graduates during the fall semester; the Graduate School would only cover 60% of the cost of health insurance for the fall semester. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the student health center if he/she is leaving the University. Failure to contact the Student Health Service will result in termination of coverage.
| 1. Do Not Waive the Health Insurance Charge | |||||
If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, do not waive the health insurance charge. Only students with comparable insurance coverage who do not want to enroll in the University Insurance should waive the insurance charge. If your insurance charge has been waived, or if you have requested coverage for only one semester, you won’t be able to take advantage of the insurance credit. |

To take advantage of this credit, select the payroll deduction option under the employee tab on myUM. If the payroll deduction option does not appear on your myUM screen, please contact your academic department to verify the status of your assignment. Although the deadline to waive the insurance charge is July 25, the deadline to sign up for payroll deduction is October 1. If your graduate student assignment is delayed, you have until October 1 to sign up for payroll deduction, and thereby take advantage of the insurance credit. | ||||
