Reminder: 2026 Summer Benefits Premium Collections

Faculty and staff on academic or 9-month appointments will have summer premiums and surcharges collected from the last paychecks of the spring semester.

Summer premiums for life insurance will be collected from the first May paycheck. Medical premiums and any surcharges will be collected for the second May paycheck. The lump sum premium will be the equivalent of seven pay periods (one May contribution, and all June, July, and August premiums).

For individuals on other less-than-12-month appointments (9.5, 10, or 11-month appointments), deduction dates will vary based on when the break occurs.

Visit Summer Premium Collections for more information, FAQ’s and example.
