A Kent State University student’s interpretive sign project is helping the university become more environmentally friendly.

Several trees, up to 20 feet tall, were relocated from Summit Street to the area around the Center for the Performing Arts on Main Street to prepare for road expansions and other construction as part of the Summit Street Improvement Project.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has granted an extension on producing and filing the 1095-C tax form. As such, the 1095-C tax form is not required for full-time, benefits-eligible employees to file 2015 taxes.

Kent State University will still make the 1095-C form available to employees as soon as possible, and will file the forms with the IRS once they are completed.

There is a box on the 1040 tax form that should be checked if you had “qualifying health care coverage” for all of 2015.

Kent State University is currently offering employees the opportunity to apply for guaranteed-issue Aflac short-term disability coverage (up to $3,000) to supplement any existing benefits. That means no medical questionnaire is required*.

Short-term disability coverage is designed to provide, to persons insured, coverage for disabilities resulting from a covered accident or sickness, subject to any limitations set forth in the policy. Coverage is not provided for basic hospital, basic medical-surgical or major medical expenses.

Steve Nameth, dean and chief administrative office of Kent State University at Salem, recently hosted a luncheon for business students to learn more about the insurance industry and the degree that could help get them through its doors.
