Students
Eligible For
The Oregon
Health Plan
Full-tim e students eligible for
the Pell G rant are now eligible for
O regon H ealth Plan if they meet
certain requirem ents. N early three
years ago full-tim e students w ere
kicked o ff the plan to save O regon
money. Past budge, cuts caused
the drop o f m edical coverage.
“T he O regon Student A ssocia
tion (O SA ) has fought for two years
to obtain this positive victory for
O regon co lleg e stu d e n ts," said
OSA E xecutive D irector Ed D en
nis. "T his is ju s, one exam ple o f
how student’s lobbying efforts have
paid o ff in the legislature during
the last session.”
Now students are slow ly regain
ing the right to coverage. Changes
also affect the criteria for part-
time students. Part-tim es who meet
the m inim um reso u rce re q u ire
ments can get back on the plan
also.
Minimum resource requirements
haven’t changed w ith this new leg
islation. To be covered under the
plan, a person m ust have a three
m onth incom e average o f $658 or
low er per m onth. For a fam ily o f
three, the incom e average must be
less than $ l , 11 1. Pregnant students
are held to different requirem ents.
T he PSU c h a p te r o f the O SA
has w o rk ed to see th a t c o lle g e
stu d e n ts in O reg o n p re v io u sly
co v ered by the O H P a re e lig ib le .
U nder the new rules an additional
5,000 - 7 ,0 0 0 stu d e n ts can o b
tain c o v e r a g e u n d e r th e new
