BELI Code
| The Benefits Eligibility Level Indicator (BELI) code determines for which benefit package, if any, an employee is eligible. Each employee must be assigned a BELI code at the time of hire or rehire or be re-evaluated when there is a change to the employee's personnel status. The BELI code is entered on the EPER screen.

- "B" - Indefinite, with an appointment end date for budgetary purposes
- "V" - For visa purposes only
**Method 2: Eligibility based on Hours on Pay Status
Once an employee had accumulated a certain number of eligible hours in a given 12-consecutive month period, the employee automatically qualifies for Full-Benefits and UCRP membership if appointed in a UCRP includable title.
Hour thresholds are:
- 1000 hours for Non-Student Staff and Academic Titles (excluding IX Unit employees)
- Includes the following appointment types
- Contract (Appointment Type "1")

Continuing Eligibility
Once initial eligibility is established, employee must be appointed in an appointment that is in a benefit-eligible category and maintain a rolling 12-month average paid time of at least 17.5 hours per week to remain benefit-eligible. After falling below this level, if the average remains below 17.5 for a second consecutive month, then the employee loses eligibility effective the first of the next month.
