Other Eligible Individual Program
MSU and the GEU have implemented a pilot program effective August 15, 2008 that changes the eligibility criteria for enrollment in its student health plan for a maximum number of 15 participants. This temporary program will be reviewed at least annually to determine if it will be continued for the next plan year and will follow the guidelines of MSU's other eligible individual program for non-union/non-represented employees. The pilot program is scheduled to end at the conclusion of the 2009-2010 plan year. Individuals are strongly encouraged not to forego health coverage that may be available to them from other sources. The University reserves the right to suspend this pilot program and to determine how the below-listed eligibility criteria will be applied during the pilot program.
