Important Retirement Plan Updates
Rice University offers a wide range of health/welfare benefits and several retirement options. The benefits specialists in Human Resources will help you enroll in the benefit programs, answer questions and provide detailed information about all of our benefits.
What are the requirements for benefits eligibility? Review University Policy # 403 for more information.
The 2012-2013 Benefits Booklet (and 2013-2014 Benefits Booklet) is a summary of all of Rice's current benefit plans, and is a great resource when you have a question about benefits.
You can also review the Active Employee Rates 2012-2013 (and Active Employee Rates 2013-2014), Retiree Rates for 2012-2013 (and Retiree Rates 2013-2014), or COBRA Rates 2012-2013 (and COBRA Rates 2013-2014) - note that the active rates are based on a 12-month salary, so if you are paid over nine months, your monthly deductions will be slightly more per month (but your coverage is still intact in the summer months). Rice's plan year is generally July 1 - June 30, so benefits open enrollment changes and new rates are effective July 1 of each year.
More information on each of Rice's benefits can be found on the links to the left.
