The stupidest aspect of our system is that, if you’re a couple with kids, and both spouses are employed by the university in different units, those units will both put pressure on the individuals to put the kids on the other spouse’s insurance, because it comes out of the unit budget.

I’ve heard of grad students being told that they may “find it easier” to obtain supplementary research funding if they get their kids moved to their spouse’s plan.

It’s fucked up, but it’s a natural consequence of the system.

If you can’t find your marriage license, your spouse will be taken off the insurance policy at UVA.
