There are several factors that determine your premium amount:
- Annual Premium Update
- For Faculty/Academic Staff/Limited Appointees: ICI premium* is based on your 2022 eligible earnings and the elimination period you elected.
- For University Staff: ICI premium* is based on your 2022 eligible earnings and unused sick leave balance as of December 31, 2022.
- Premium Rate
- For 2023 the ICI premium rates will decrease slightly. While premium rates are decreasing, your eligible earnings and sick leave balance may cause your premium amount to increase.
