Wraparound Plan
Employees who were enrolled in the indemnity plan (Wraparound) prior to October 1, 1995, and are still enrolled, have the option of remaining in that plan. The indemnity plan (Wraparound) is not available to new employees, rehired employees and employees who are no longer enrolled in that plan.
The University pays a portion of the premium and the employees pay a portion. The amount of the premium paid by the University depends upon the plan option selected by the employee.
Part-time/Hourly Eligibility for Medical
In order to comply with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Adelphi will offer group health plan coverage to part-time and hourly employees if they meet the definition under the ACA of a “Full-Time Employee”. Under the ACA, a Full-Time Employee generally is an employee who works an average of at least 30 hours per week. This “full-time status” only applies to medical benefit eligibility. Example: You must complete 1,560 hours of service by October 31, in order to be eligible for coverage during the corresponding 12 month period beginning January 1.
In order to determine which part time and hourly employees will be considered “Full-time Employees” for medical benefit eligibility only, please see Part-time/Hourly Eligibility for Medical (PDF).
Each year, Annual Enrollment is provided in November during which time employees may elect to change plans with the change being effective on the subsequent January 1.
