Faculty, staff, and graduate student academic employees are eligible for UT benefits if they are expected to work, and are appointed for, at least 20 hours per week (50% FTE) and at least 135 continuous days (one full long semester). The minimum 50% FTE is based on the sum of all active benefits-eligible positions held on campus. For example, a Lecturer with a 25% FTE in the College of Education and a concurrent 25% FTE in a different CSU would be eligible for benefits based on their total 50% FTE across both jobs.

Summer insurance coverage for faculty
...
Eligibility for and calculation of the Summer Insurance Deduction is based on the Pay Group of the Primary Job in Workday. In general, deductions are tied to the Primary Job.
Pre-payment
If a faculty job is the primary position and the faculty member is not enrolled in salary spread, any out-of-pocket premiums due for summer insurance are automatically deducted from their June 1 paycheck. This means they will pay for four months of insurance on their June 1 paycheck, which includes payment for May and pre-payment for June - August. See more at HR: Summer Coverage for Faculty.
Pre-payment cancellation
If the faculty member will have a benefits-eligible position from May 16-August 15, then they may opt out of pre-payment by following the instructions at HR: Summer Coverage for Faculty > Pre-Payment Cancellation. The faculty member is responsible for submitting the request and any required documentation by the deadline stated on that web page.
...
For summer jobs funded by sponsored research, please contact your research administration unit (COERA or Center staff).
For summer jobs that are Chair or Associate Dean positions, please contact COE Faculty Affairs.
Documentation of teaching or other non-teaching jobs not described above should come from the department.
Termination
If a faculty member separates from employment or become otherwise ineligible for benefits, their insurance will terminate at the end of the month in which the change in employment occurs. If they prepaid for summer insurance, a refund of excess funds will automatically be issued.

For more information including eligibility and enrollment, see HR: COBRA Continuation Coverage.
