When you complete the benefits enrollment section in Workday (the system of record for HR, finance, learning, payroll, recruiting, and post-award grant accounting information at Brown University), you will see both the monthly full premium amount and a monthly medical subsidy.
Please refer to the 2025 Rate Sheet for Faculty and Staff to see your full premium amount. While this amount is correct, please note you also receive a monthly medical subsidy to offset the cost of the full premium. Please review the section below for guidance on how to calculate your medical subsidy.
Please review the following important points:
- The medical subsidy is labeled as "Health Supplement Postdoc" in your paycheck.
- Be sure to inform your department manager once you have enrolled in health and/or dental insurance in Workday so that they can apply the medical subsidy as soon as possible.
- Be sure to carefully review your paycheck each month to make sure the medical subsidy has been included correctly.
- Please note, medical insurance subsidies from Brown may be taxed and will be reported via a 1099-MISC form. Consult your personal tax advisor with any questions.
If you have any questions related to your medical subsidy, please contact your department manager.
