Adjunct Faculty Special Open Enrollment for District Health Insurance
Beginning April 1 through April 23, 2025, eligible adjunct faculty may enroll in the same SMCCCD District-sponsored health insurance as full-time faculty. AFT won this benefit when it negotiated the Part-time Healthcare MOU the District in June 2024. This is NOT the same benefit as the District’s health insurance reimbursement program for your out of pocket premiums. Please see Article 2 of our MOU for information about your eligibility to enroll.
The District’s enrollment website is now live! For enrollment submissions received by April 23, insurance will take effect on May 1, 2025. Please note that this program is different from our District’s health insurance reimbursement program below.
Please see the AFenroll Self-Service Instructions with initial login details, then the AFenroll Instructions with screenshots for a preview of the enrollment process and specific questions you will be asked.

Health Insurance Reimbursement Program
Effective July 1, 2024, the District has decided that part-time faculty health insurance premium reimbursements will be processed twice a year instead of quarterly.
The reimbursement will continue to cover up to 100% of the single-party Kaiser premium rate and include part-timers with a combined active assignment equal to or greater than 40% of a full-time assignment (six units) at two or more California community college districts, including SMCCCD.
For all deadlines and updated reimbursement instructions, please see your March 21, 2025, email message from David Feune (Human Resources), “Spring Health Insurance Program Enrollment Information” and visit the District’s website.
