Double Spouse Credit
If you and your spouse or domestic partner work at the University of Iowa and are eligible for UISelect/UIChoice and Dental II, you may benefit from the Double Spouse Credit. Double Spouse Credit provides family health and dental coverage at little to no cost, depending on your chosen plan.
If you do not have dependent children who require coverage under your policy, you and your spouse or domestic partner should each elect Employee Only coverage for both health and dental insurance.
