Salary Benefit Appropriation Allocations (APS 019)

FPP A.042

Instructions for Transferring Group Insurance Appropriations – Higher Education Only

Appropriation Types

Institutions of higher education group insurance categories:

  • Self-insured systems, i.e., the University of Texas (UT) System and the Texas A&M (TAMU) System.
  • Institutions insured through ERS.

Self-Insured Instructions

Institutions in self-insured systems should follow the instructions in the table below:

Step Who Action
1 Institutions Establish PCAs in USAS using the Program Cost Account Profile (26) screen. The PCAs must infer program code 3991, and may infer the agency fund and group insurance receiving account (95002) appropriation number.
2 Comptroller’s office Transfers the group insurance program (GIP) allocation monthly to the UT and TAMU system offices.
3 System office Allocates the GIP monthly to the individual components within the system.

ERS-Insured Instructions

Institutions of higher education that are insured through ERS are unique since ERS will facilitate the GIP. The institution’s only requirement is to reimburse ERS for the other E&G portion of the GIP. ERS is directly appropriated from the GR for these institutions.

For instructions for other E&G reimbursements, see Reimbursing Retirement Contributions and Insurance Premiums (APS 005) (FPP A.034).
