withholding taxes: Federal income tax, state income tax and FICA - social security and Medicare.

the student files their W-4 and A-4 forms. A student may seek advice from the IRS regarding how to file their
W-4 Form or advice from the ADOR regarding how to file their A-4 Form.

New Health Insurance
Marketplace Coverage Options
and Your Health Coverage
General information
When key parts of the Affordable Care Act take effect in 2014, there will be a new way to buy health
insurance: through the health insurance marketplace. To assist you as you evaluate options for you
and your family, this notice provides some basic information about the new marketplaces and
employment-based health coverage offered by your employer.
What is the health insurance marketplace?
The marketplace is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your
budget. The marketplace is a resource to find and compare private health insurance options. You can
enroll for health insurance coverage through the Marketplace during an enrollment period that begins in
October 2013. Coverage can begin as early as January 1, 2014.
Can I save money on my health insurance premiums in the marketplace?
You may qualify to save money and lower your monthly premium, but only if your employer does not offer
coverage, or offers coverage that doesn't meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you're
eligible for depends on your household income.
Does employer health coverage affect eligibility for premium savings through the
marketplace?
Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will
not be eligible for a tax credit through the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer's
health plan. However, you may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium, or a
reduction in certain cost-sharing if your employer does not offer coverage to you at all or does not
offer coverage that meets certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your employer that would cover
you and not any other members of your family is more than 9.5% of your household income for that
year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the "minimum value" standard set by
the Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit.
1
Note: If you purchase a health plan through the marketplace instead of accepting health coverage
offered by your employer, then you will lose any employer contribution to the State of Arizona Benefit
Options Plan. Also, this employer contribution - as well as your employee contribution to State of
Arizona Benefit Options Plan - is often excluded from income for Federal and State income tax
purposes. Your payments for coverage through the marketplace are made on an after-tax basis.
Future enrollment in the State of Arizona Benefit options plan will be limited to open enrollment,
which typically happens in the fall.
1
An Employer-sponsored health plan meets the “minimum value standard” if the plan’s share of the total allowed benefit
costs covered by the plan is no less than 60% of such costs. Section 36B(c)(2)(C)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986.

Graduate and undergraduate student employment guidelines
The primary focus for any ASU student is their education. ASU recognizes that some
students may need to supplement their income with on-campus work in order to help fund
their education. To ensure the student’s education and training are not compromised by

be followed.

work a maximum of 0.50 FTE. During the summer, these students may work a maximum of 1.00 FTE.
ï
Students holding hourly student worker positions during the academic year may work a maximum of
25 hours per week. During the summer, these students may work up to a maximum of 40 hours per week.
ï
All positions combined including stipend-paid positions cannot exceed 0.625 FTE or 25 hours per
week for the first 12 months of employment or from October to October in subsequent years of employment.
Some important areas to think about

If you average more than 0.625 FTE or 25 hours per week, your employment will be terminated from all
ASU jobs.

at ASU in a student worker, faculty associate or graduate student position for at least 26 weeks.
For undergraduate students
ï
Student employees are limited to a rolling average of 25 hours per week per year.
ï
Students can work up to 100 percent in the summer, provided they do not exceed an average of 25 hours
per week for the first 12 months of ASU employment or from October to October in subsequent years of
employment.
ï
This 25-hour average maximum applies to the combined total of all jobs, including hours associated with
stipend-based compensation.
