Did you receive a postcard that looks like this? If so, disregard it.
The postcard was sent to all individuals on the State's master payroll file, which includes Graduate Assistants. The State send the notification every year to ensure individuals who may be eligible are on alert to the enrollment period. However, this does not apply to UMBC GAs because we receive our Health Benefits through the university (and Aetna) not the State.
If you have further questions, you can reach out to a benefits specialist at UMBC: hrbenefits@umbc.edu
Here is a link to the summary of benefits and coverage for the 2017-2018 school year.
