Subject to, and consistent with, the Group Life Insurance Plan, the Group Hospitalization Medical Plan, and other University group insurance plans, coverage may be continued during a leave of absence provided direct payment of the total premium is made through and as prescribed by the University.
During a leave of absence, the University's contribution to the relevant retirement system is discontinued, and benefits do not accrue, are not forfeited, nor can they be withdrawn.
