SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE PLANS
If you are an eligible JHU employee, you receive a wide array of health and welfare benefits that provide you and your family with protection, security and peace of mind. The Health and Welfare Handbook for Faculty and Staff and the Health and Welfare Handbook for Bargaining Unit members are the summary plan descriptions (SPD) for the university's health and welfare plans covered under ERISA. These handbooks contain a comprehensive description of the university's health and welfare plans, including the terms and conditions of participation. The SPD informs participants of what these benefit plans provide, how they operate, and how to file a claim for benefits. Costs or rates for benefit plans are not included in the SPD, since they change annually. However, costs do appear on the Benefits Web site under the Cost of Coverage link.
