Eligibility
You are eligible to participate in Flex if you are employed by MCCCD in one
of the following categories and occupy a position budgeted and approved by
the Maricopa Community Colleges Governing Board:
Board approved non-teaching personnel who are regularly scheduled to work at
least 20 hours a week and 8 1/2 months a year.
Residential faculty members compensated by MCCCD who carry at least a
half-time teaching load.
When Coverage Begins
If you are a new employee, coverage begins on the first day of the month
following your Board approval date or start date, whichever is later. Elections
must be made prior to your benefit start date. Employees who have not
signed up for benefits by their benefit start date will forfeit their flex
dollars and their first month of benefit coverage. If you do
not enroll within thirty-one days of your eligibility date, you will
automatically be enrolled for single Core medical coverage effective on the
first day of the next month.
For continuing employees, coverage remains in force for the plan year (July 1
through June 30). Employees on one-year-only contracts are eligible for coverage
only during the period in which they are benefit eligible.
When Coverage Ends
Eligibility for group insurance coverage
under the Flex Benefit Program ends on the last day of the month in which your
MCCCD employment terminates.
Under federal law, you and/or your covered dependents may apply for COBRA, a
temporary extension of medical and dental insurance upon your termination. See COBRA
for more details. There are also
private policies for medical insurance available which may fit your needs.
Note: Special coverage rules may apply to employees on leave of absence and
those employees already receiving disability benefits under the long term
disability plan.
