Part‐Time Faculty Health Insurance Reimbursement Program
The District is providing up to 100% of the single-party Kaiser monthly premium rate for reimbursement of health insurance costs incurred by part-time faculty who have an active assignment equal to or greater than .4 FTE with San Mateo County Community College District or in combination with other California Community College Districts.
The reimbursement periods are:
- July 2024 - October 2024
(This is for Part-Time Faculty enrolling in the District's Health Insurance Plan through CalPERS, effective November 1, 2024. The deadline to submit request forms is December 30, 2024. Reimbursement will be paid in January 2025.)
-
July 2024 - December 2024
(The deadline to submit request forms is December 30, 2024. Reimbursement will be paid in January 2025.) - January 2025 - June 2025
(The deadline to submit request forms is June 30, 2025. Reimbursement will be paid in August 2025.)
The part-time faculty member must furnish documentation showing that the employee has purchased health insurance and the amount of the insurance premium during the reimbursement period for which the part-time faculty member was otherwise not eligible for reimbursement from any other source. If the health insurance premiums are part of an employer-paid benefit program, the employer MUST be another community college in order to be eligible for reimbursement.
Part-time faculty members wishing to be reimbursed for medical premium expenses must complete the Part-Time Faculty Health Insurance Program Reimbursement Request Form.
