The JHU Benefits program is administered by the Office of Benefits
Administration through the Benefits Service Centers. The Homewood
Benefits Service Center is in the Wyman Park Building, 6th floor,
x62000. The benefits plans encompass two broad groups of individuals:
STAFF (senior and support) and FACULTY/APPOINTED positions. Benefits
information for faculty/appointed positions, as well as for Postdoctoral
Fellows, can be found in the KASPER Appointments
section.
BENEFITS FOR STAFF MEMBERS
Benefits for full-time staff members are defined in Appendix
O of the Personnel Policy Manual. A hard copy of the manual
is also available in each department. (Questions about benefits
for part and limited-time staff members should be addressed to the
Benefits
Service Center, x62000.) General questions about benefits may
be addressed to Joan Spoltore,
KSAS Human Resources Manager at x64138 or to Linda Evans, HR Generalist, at x67062. The
Benefits
Service Center (x62000) is available to answer both general
and specific queries about staff and faculty benefits.
Benefits overviews for full and part-time staff members (both support
and senior staff) may be accessed
on-line.
The KSAS has a limited number of Bargaining Unit members, primarily
working in labs. Their benefits are defined in the Union Contract
which may be obtained from Pat Day of Employee Relations, x68661.
Benefits overviews for Bargaining Unit Members are also available
at
http://hrnt.jhu.edu/Benefits/summaries/ft-bu.pdf.
Temporary, casual and limited time staffs are covered by Workers'
Compensation and may be eligible for Unemployment Insurance (depending
on work history). The university also makes the required FICA contributions
into their Social Security Accounts. In addition, limited time staff
may purchase medical benefits at the unsubsidized rate.
BENEFITS
FORMS
TUITION GRANT PLAN
One of the many benefits available to JHU full-time faculty and
staff is the Tuition Grant Plan. University employees are required
to have a minimum of two consecutive years of full-time JHU employment
before they may participate in this plan. Employees who come to
JHU directly from an institution where they were eligible for a
similar benefit may have the two-year requirement waived. JHU retirees
are eligible for the plan, as well as the dependent children of
employees' same-sex domestic partners. The value of the benefit
paid for dependent children of same sex domestic
partners will be considered taxable income to the employee.
This plan is specifically for dependent children (age 25 or younger)
of full-time faculty and staff who are pursuing full-time undergraduate
studies at a degree-granting, accredited institution. The program
covers 50% of the cost of tuition and universal mandatory academic
fees at any degree-granting, accredited institution, up to a maximum
of 50% of the cost of the Hopkins (JHU) full-time undergraduate
tuition. Payment is limited to four years. Room and board, part-time
and graduate study are not covered by the Plan.
To participate in the Plan, employees must submit a completed Tuition
Grant Plan application to Training and Education. Employees can
obtain the form from the web at http://www.jhu.edu/~hr1/train/eeap/eeap.htm,
the Benefits Service Center, and divisional Human Resources Offices.
The completed application should be submitted (via mail or fax)
to Training and Education at least six weeks
before the college's / university's payment due date.
Questions concerning the Tuition Grant Plan should be directed
to Training and Education. By Phone: (443) 997-6810; By Fax: (443)
997-6812; By Mail: 1101 East 33rd Street, Suite C-130 Baltimore,
MD 21218.
