The NEW minimum for HCSA entitlement is 50 hours per academic year. As of September 2007, all members who work for at least 50 hours are eligible for the HCSA . You can enrol yourself in the HCSA by filling out the form attached below.

You can download the Unit 2 HCSA Enrolment Form here. Please submit the completed form to the Bursar’s Office at Victoria University (Northrop Frye Hall, Room 115).

Each half-course you teach (as a sessional) will count for $250 worth of reimbursement. Hourly-paid employees are credited with $250 for 50-239 hours of work, $500 for 240-379 hours, $750 for 380-520 hours and so on, in increments of 140 hours.

Those members covered by a UofT Employee Benefit Plan (not your Grad student or Undergrad student or Unit 1 or 3 plans) are not eli­gible for this coverage.

Eligible expenses are those that qualify as a medical expense tax credit under the Income Tax Act, including prescription eyeglasses, dental expenses, medical devices and supplies, prescription drugs, and services of paramedical practitioners. A list of eligible medical expense tax credits can be found on the Canada Revenue Agency website.
