Unit 7 Benefits

If you are a member of Unit 7 and are employed for at least one term then you are eligible for coverage under the CUPE 3907 top-up benefit plan. The Plan Year runs from September 1st to August 31st. Plans are non-contributory (100% U of T paid).

Plan status and dependent eligibility is based on Student Plan enrollment each year. Unit 7 members do not need to do anything to enroll. You coverage will begin once Green Shield Canada (GSC) receives the information that you are eligible under your Unit 7 appointment. This will be late October/early November each year.

Eligible employees enrolled under the Student Plan will be eligible for coverage under the CUPE 3902 Unit 7 Health Care Plan A – Top-up + HCSA: 

• You can access the most up-to-date Benefit Booklet online through your Green Shield Canada account.
  
• The individual HCSA is worth $300/year. The Family HCSA has a value of $600/year.

Eligible employees who have opted out of the UTGSU plan will participate in the CUPE 3902 Unit 7 Health Care Plan B – HCSA-only Plan. 

• You will only be eligible for coverage under the $300 HCSA-only Plan regardless of whether you have eligible spouse/partner or dependent children.

The Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) is like a bank account that you can use to pay for eligible health and dental expenses not fully covered by your group benefits plan or your provincial health plan. It also covers a wide range of health and dental expenses such as medical equipment, drugs and medications, eyeglasses, paramedical practitioners and orthodontic expenses, as well as co-payments or deductibles. This form, created by Green Shield Canada, shows eligible expenses under your Health Care Spending Account.

NOTE: CUPE 3902 Unit 1 and Unit 7 share the same Top-Up plan. If you are a member of both Unit 7 and Unit 1, you will only receive access to one Top-Up plan.
