Health Plan Improvements

1. Domestic Partner Eligibility Expanded to Opposite Sex Partners

Opposite Sex Domestic Partners are now eligible for University benefits, including medical, prescription drug, vision and dental insurance, and educational benefits.

Previously, only married spouses and same sex domestic partners were eligible for such benefits.

In order to take advantage of this enhanced benefit, employees will need to apply for domestic partner coverage by completing the domestic partner enrollment form, the affidavit of domestic partnership, and by completing a new health benefits enrollment form.  (http://www.ohio.edu/hr/forms.cfm#d)

Benefits for a domestic partner are taxable, per IRS regulations.  Appropriate taxes will be applied to each pay check.  Please see the Domestic Partner Tax Information for more information.
