When Two Members of a Household Work at UM

If you and your spouse or other qualified adult are both employed by the University, when you enroll in benefits, keep in mind:
  • No employee or dependent can be covered more than once. For example, you can have your own medical insurance (or other benefit coverage) or be listed as a dependent on your spouse's or other qualified adult's coverage, but not on both.
  • You can select a different medical insurance (or dental or other benefit coverage) option and you may add your dependents to either coverage, but not to both.
  • Each parent can enroll in a different medical insurance (or dental or other benefit coverage) plan, and each of them can enroll a different child under their coverage, but both cannot enroll the same child.

Generally, under your University of Michigan benefits plans, you cannot cover:

  • Anyone who works for or is retired from the University and has his or her own University coverage; or
  • Any dependents who are already covered by anyone who works for or is retired from the University.
  • Any dependent child who works for the University and is eligible for University-sponsored benefits as an employee.

 

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the benefits information in this site. However, if any provision on the benefits plans is unclear or ambiguous, the Benefits Office reserves the right to interpret the plan and resolve the problem. If any inconsistency exists between this site and the written plans or contracts, the actual provisions of each benefit plan will govern. The University in its sole discretion may modify, amend, or terminate the benefits provided with respect to any individual receiving benefits, including active employees, retirees, and their dependents.
