University of Maine Graduate Assistant Health Insurance Plan<\/a>. A minimum of fifty percent of the annual insurance premium will be paid by your assistantship during the period that you are appointed. You may make arrangement with the Bursar\u2019s Office to pay the insurance premium through payroll deduction. Dependent coverage is also available for an additional charge. Graduate students not supported under any financial aid through the University are eligible for the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) coverage at their own expense. Check the Graduate School website for more information.<\/p>\n2. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION<\/h4>\n
All University employees on official business are covered under provisions of the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act. Volunteer laborers and those graduate students on fellowships, scholarships, or self-supported have no coverage – they must provide their own. This also includes those participating in student activities. Any graduate student having an accident of any type should notify her\/his supervisor immediately and fill out and return proper paperwork to the Payroll and Accounting Office.<\/p>\n
3. AUTO LIABILITY COVERAGE<\/h4>\n
The University System Auto Liability Policy covers all vehicles owned by, or leased to, the University of Maine System. If any accident occurs, immediately notify your supervisor, Graduate Advisor and the Administrative Assistant. Collision coverage is required on vehicles leased to the University. The premium for collision coverage will be paid by the project account responsible for the lease of the vehicle. Collision costs are covered by the Motor Pool for any vehicle signed out from them. These guidelines are valid regardless of the user\u2019s status (staff, graduate teaching assistant, graduate research assistant, student volunteer).<\/p>\n
The University provides no physical damage insurance coverage and no liability insurance coverage for personal cars. If a traveler uses his\/her personal car for university-related business, that person\u2019s own insurance on the vehicle is responsible for any insurance claims, and the traveler is personally responsible for any deductibles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
