Summer Term
- IF YOU HAVE A SUMMER GE: GE’s pay the same premium rate for summer they do during the academic year.
- IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SUMMER GE: Per the GTFF union’s collective bargaining agreement with the UO, the UO still pays the majority premium costs, but your share increases. Rates for summer entirely depend on your summer employment status. Summer is the ONLY time you may have the GTFF insurance while not concurrently being employed as a GE.
To be eligible for the summer coverage if you do NOT have a summer GE, you will:
(1) have had to have a spring GE appointment and
(2) you are NOT graduating in spring term.
i.e., if you only had a fall and/or winter GE appointment, you are NOT eligible for summer coverage. If you are graduating spring term, you are NOT eligible for the coverage over summer.
Reversely, if you HAD a spring GE and are graduating summer term, or not graduating summer, but just don’t have a summer GE, you are eligible to keep the insurance over the entire summer.
