15. What are the qualifications for the premium assistance program?

To ease the cost of medical premiums for qualified employees, UAB offers a premium-assistance program for eligible employees — covered employees whose total combined household income, based on family size, is two times the federal poverty level or less.


To apply for this program, employees must submit a Premium Assistance Application and furnish acceptable proof of total annual household income based on their most recently filed Federal Income Tax Return. Employees are required to re-apply each year for the program. Visit the UAB for Me Portal at uab.edu/hrintouch for more information and the application.
