The GatorGradCare health insurance enrollment deadline is September 14, 2015. GatorGradCare is a health insurance plan provided exclusively to graduate assistants, teaching assistants, and research assistants on appointment with the University of Florida. GatorGradCare enrollment is not automatic.
All eligible students, including returning graduate assistants previously covered by GatorGradCare, must submit a 2015-2016 enrollment by the September 14th deadline if they would like to be included under the plan for the upcoming academic year. No enrollments can be accepted after the enrollment deadline.
Important: Students using UF wifi to enroll may need to enable Gatorlink VPN in order to access the secure enrollment site.
GatorGradCare enrollees’ eligibility is evaluated by the Benefits Office following the fall drop/add period that ends on Aug. 28. Departments must complete all appointment processes, enter ePAF transactions and allow time for each level of approver to approve the appointment prior to Aug. 28 in order for GatorGradCare enrollees’ insurance coverage to be activated as quickly as possible. Delays and errors in loading GA jobs, letters of appointment, and tuition waivers will delay insurance coverage for the GatorGradCare enrollees. Please notify the Benefits Office by emailing gabenefits@admin.ufl.edu if your department is aware of delays in processing job data for your Graduate Assistants.
