Health Insurance Eligibility

SURS benefit recipients may be eligible to participate in the State of Illinois Employee Group Insurance Program or the College Insurance Program (CIP).

To be eligible for the State Employee Group Insurance Program, you must meet the minimum vesting requirement for retirement with a state university or an agency of the state of Illinois. Community colleges are not state agencies. To be eligible for the CIP, you must have been a full-time employee of any SURS-participating Community College and eligible for benefits. City Colleges of Chicago do not participate in the CIP.
