Working Spouse Surcharge
The University of Delaware is committed to maintaining the affordability and sustainability of its healthcare program. To help offset the cost of covering spouses who have access to other employer-sponsored medical plans, the online Spousal Coordination of Benefits (SCOB) Form has been required. This form is now referred to as the Working Spouse Surcharge Verification Form, which will be required each year during the annual Open Enrollment period. Please visit the Working Spouse Surcharge link for further details.
Important Working Spouse Surcharge Update:
Effective July 1, 2025, if you elect to cover your spouse under the University’s medical plan as secondary coverage—meaning your spouse maintains primary coverage through their own employer—the $200 monthly surcharge will not apply.
