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.
