Our goal is to offer Ithaca College employees the most comprehensive benefit plan possible. With Individual Choice, the College's flexible benefit program, you have the power to make your benefits even more valuable — because you can choose features that fit your individual needs. The program takes advantage of opportunities that are currently available to make your benefits more valuable and effective. This valuable program is enhanced by your ability to choose the benefits you need. By selecting wisely, you create a benefits package for yourself and your family that is truly an Individual Choice.

The following pages provide details of the benefit provisions of the Individual Choice program. In the pages that follow you will find a description of the benefits available to you under Individual Choice. A glossary of some important terms used to describe the plans is included. Any term printed in bold in this document is defined in the glossary and carries the meaning given in that definition, not any other meaning in common usage.

We have made every effort to ensure that this information accurately reflects the plan documents. However, should there be any discrepancy between the information presented and the information contained in the plan documents, the documents always govern. The College reserves the right to amend or terminate its benefit program at any time.
