What do I do if a part-time faculty member falls below half-time for one or more quarters, then returns to half-time employment?
Once enrolled, a part-time faculty member who does not work at least 50 percent of the time in one or more state institutions of higher education loses eligibility for employer contributions. Part-time faculty may self-pay coverage up to 18 months between periods of eligible employment. Part-time faculty and part-time academic employees who return to work 50 percent of the time or more do not have to re-qualify for employer-sponsored benefits under the two consecutive-quarter rule if they were not off more than 18 months.
