Graduate Research Assistant(GRA)/Graduate Teaching Assistant(GTA) Student Health Insurance

EFFECTIVE: AUGUST 1, 2007

The Kansas State Employees Health Care Commission offers a student health insurance plan for Graduate Research Assistants (GRA) and Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA). At the election of the student employee, coverage may also include dependents.

To be eligible for the GRA/GTA student health insurance plan, including an employer contribution, an eligible student employee must first meet both of the following conditions:

• the student employee is enrolled in the student health care benefits component of the state health care benefits program, and
• the student is appointed for the current semester to a GRA or GTA position or some combination of the two, that is at least a .5 FTE appointment.

By design, this a prepaid health insurance plan which means the semester premiums are paid in advance at the time of applying for coverage.

GRA/GTA students are to complete an application and present the application and semester premium payment to the Division of Human Resources within 30 days of their appointment date or during the appropriate open enrollment period:
