Summary of Adjunct Staff Benefits

Adjuncts are eligible for health benefits as a Teaching or Non-Teaching Adjunct, if you meet the

following eligibility requirements:

 

Teaching Adjunct: Completed two (2) consecutive semesters of at least one or two courses per

week of Adjunct instruction for the full semester at CUNY immediately prior to the current

semester; teaching at least six (6) hours per week for the full semester, which must be

maintained.

 

Non-Teaching Adjunct: Completed two (2) consecutive semesters of at least 15 hours per week

for the full semester at CUNY immediately prior to the current semester working at least 15 hours

per week for the full semester.

Note: The summer or winter "session" is not considered towards meeting the eligibility

requirement.

 

If you are currently not covered or eligible to be covered by any other health insurance plan by virtue of employment of self, spouse or through government entitlement, then you may be eligible to be enrolled in health benefits through the New York City Health Benefits Program administered through the CUNY University Benefits Office.

 

The enrollment forms can be obtained from the site below and your Benefits Officer will need to verify that the eligibility requirements have been met. If eligibility is due to your employment at two campuses, you will be required to obtain verification from each campus. Some employee health plans are available free of charge, and dependent health insurance coverage is available through premium payment.
