Faculty and staff have an array of benefit choices which allow customization of a benefits package that meets the needs of faculty, staff, and eligible dependents.
Health benefit plans are available through the State of Maryland Employee Benefits Division.
Medical plans include routine vision services, behavioral health, and a wellness program. The prescription drug plan and dental plans are free-standing options. Term life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment plans are also offered.
Benefits are elected at the time of hire and remain in effect throughout the calendar year unless there is a qualifying event (i.e., marriage, divorce, birth, adoption) during the plan year. Changes to benefits can also be made during the annual fall open enrollment which become effective January 1 of the following year.
