Tuition Benefit Plan. All full and part-time regular and provisional employees in an active pay status on the first day of classes as indicated in the University Bulletin are eligible for the Faculty/Staff Tuition Benefit Plan which covers tuition for classes offered through CMU. Tuition Benefit for College of Medicine courses is limited to the in-state, on-campus doctoral rate. Full time employees are limited to a maximum of twenty-four (24) credit hours in any fiscal year. Tuition benefit credit hours for part-time employees with appointments of at least one-half time (50%) will be pro-rated based on their FTE appointment. The specific terms of the Tuition Benefit Plan govern participation and eligibility. xxxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/office_president/general_counsel/Documents/p04009.pdf The tuition benefit plan waives course fees not exceeding the regular on-campus in-state tuition rate and does not cover incidental fees. Tuition benefit not utilized by the employee is available to spouse/dependent children who desire to attend classes at Central Michigan University. Spouses and dependent child(ren) of certain employee groups may take up to the annual maximum of twenty-four (24) credit hours. To qualify as a dependent child, the child must be claimed as a dependent on the employee's tax return. The definition of dependent children includes stepsons and stepdaughters as long as they are dependent of the employees. The dependency of a child of divorced parents for purposes of the tuition benefit plan is determined under the support requirements test of IRS Section 152 (e). As long as the child is a dependent of one of the parents the child qualifies as the employee's dependent and is eligible for the tuition benefit. This is true even though the child does not qualify as the employee's dependent on a personal tax return. Details are available in the Benefits and Wellness Office. All ST employees are eligible to participate in CMU Choices, the Employer's Flexible Benefit Program. Employees with at least a 75% FTE appointment will be treated as full time employees for purposes of establishing University contribution levels for medical/prescription drug and dental coverages. S-37-2 In CMU Choices, each employee will have the opportunity, upon hire, to select from the options available. Open enrollment periods will be held annually to afford employees the opportunity to change their selections. Employees may make changes during the year if they have a benefit status change (e.g., birth, death, marriage, adoption, etc.). These changes must be made in the Benefits and Wellness Office within thirty (30) calendar days of the event. Status changes must be made on a prospective basis except for those relating to birth, adoption or placement for adoption. S-37-3 Newly hired ST employees are eligible for medical/prescription drug, dental, flexible spending accounts, health savings account, life insurance/accidental death & dismemberment coverage, dependent life insurance/accidental death & dismemberment coverage, short-term disability, vision and long-term disability immediately on date of hire. All benefits terminate on the last day of employment. S-37-4 If an employee's spouse is eligible for other medical/prescription drug and dental insurance coverage, the spouse must elect at least single coverage under that plan. If the employee and spouse both work for CMU, the employees may not elect duplicate health care insurance (medical/prescription drug, dental and vision) coverage for themselves and/or their dependents through the University, and they may not combine Employer contributions. S-37-5 For additional information on CMU Choices and the rules governing the program, please refer to the enrollment workbook. S-37-6 For an employee on a paid leave of absence, the University will continue to pay benefit contributions toward benefits previously elected by the employee. For an employee on an unpaid leave of absence, the University will continue to pay its portion of employer benefit contributions toward the benefits previously elected by the employee who is on one of the following leaves of absence:
