Benefits (BELI 4). Example: Students, Grad Student, employees paid under a flat rate amount arrangement such as BYA, SST or SSC.

Concepts used to determine benefits The determination of continuing or loss of eligibility is
based on a calculation of hours worked during a 12-month “look-back” measurement period.
Measurement periods are:– November 1 to October 31 for monthly paid
employees – November 9 to November 7 for bi-weekly paid
employees First measurement period started November 2014.

“Default” benefit coverage ends in 2016 As of January 1, 2016 there will be no more default or
automatic coverage Employees must take a positive action to be enrolled
