Part-time faculty payment instructions
Part-time (PT) faculty enrolled in medical, dental, vision, or optional long-term care insurance will have the employee portion of the premiums deducted from their paychecks. Medical, dental, and vision premium deductions are pre-tax. Long-term care premium deductions are post-tax. Please review the detailed schedule of premium deductions below.
New deduction schedule for 2024-2025 – PCC will deduct your premiums from the first two paychecks each month. If there is a third paycheck in the month, no deduction will be taken from the third check.
Many PT faculty are not paid every bi-weekly pay period. The following information explains what you need to do to keep your insurance active while in an unpaid status.
- No paycheck for one pay period: A double deduction will happen on your next bi-weekly paycheck.
- No paycheck for more than one pay period: PCC will bill you for your portion of the premiums, and you must pay in a timely manner or your insurance will be cancelled.
- Not working for one term but expected to return next term: PCC will bill you for your portion of the premiums during this “bridge term,” and you must pay in a timely manner or your insurance will be canceled.
- Not scheduled to work for a second term: Your active employee benefits will end. You will be eligible for COBRA continuation of benefits on a self-pay basis. COBRA information will be mailed to you when your eligibility for PCC insurance ends. If you are enrolled in Unum Long-Term Care insurance through PCC, contact Unum within 31 days to transfer your account to private billing and payment if you want to keep your policy. Call Unum at 1-800-227-4165; group number 148198.
- In addition to COBRA, you and your family may also be eligible for other coverage options through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, or other group health plan options (such as a spouse’s plan) during a “special enrollment period.” These options may cost less than COBRA. You can learn more about some of these options at healthcare.gov.
