Health Insurance - Waiting Period

There is no waiting period for this benefit. Coverage becomes effective on the date of hire, eligibility, or fellowship appointment, if the graduate student or fellow enrolls within 45 days. If the student or fellow does not enroll within 45 days of becoming eligible, there will be a 30-day waiting period before coverage begins.

Employees who meet the eligibility criteria can also enroll in the plan during the open enrollment period from November 1 to November 30 each year.
