Online Consent To Receive Form 1095-C for Calendar Year 2023

In accordance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provisions, UT Dallas will have the 2023 Form 1095-C available by Jan. 31, 2024. Form 1095-C includes information about the health insurance coverage offered to employees, retirees and their dependents. You will receive Form 1095-C if you were enrolled in the UT Medical Plan or if you worked an average of 30 or more hours per week or were considered a full-time employee in 2023.

Graduate student employees who are covered under the UT Student Health Insurance Plan can download Form 1095-B from the Blue Access for Members (BAM) website. Members also can call 1-855-247-7587 to request a physical copy or visit the 1095-B information page.

If you provide online consent, you can access your Form 1095-C through Galaxy. If you provided consent in prior years, you must do it again this year due to a change in the ACA 1095-C vendor. The deadline to provide online consent is Jan. 15, 2024. If you do not provide the online consent, you will receive the form in the mail by the IRS deadline. The forms are expected to be available online by Jan. 31, 2024.

To provide online consent, log in to Galaxy and select Gemini using your UT Dallas NetID and password. FAQs and step-by-step written instructions on how to consent to get your Form 1095-C online are available on the HR website.

If you have any questions, email benefits@utdallas.edu. If you have additional questions about your Form 1095-C, you also may visit the IRS website and the UT System Office of Employee Benefits website.

Reminders

Sign Up To Receive Your W-2 Electronically

The UTD Payroll office will be issuing W-2s by Jan. 31 to current and former employees who had wages in calendar year 2023. If you would like to receive your W-2 electronically instead of having to wait for it to be printed and mailed, please follow the steps below before Jan. 15. Your election remains in effect for all future calendar years, it does not need to be renewed each year.

  • Log in to Galaxy > Gemini
  • Click “NavBar: Navigator” in the upper right corner, under Main Menu select “Gemini HCM”
  • Under “Self Service,” select “Payroll and Compensation”
  • Select “W-2/W-2c Consent”
  • Check the box that says “Check here to indicate your consent to receive electronic W-2 and W-2c forms”
  • Click “Submit”

You will receive a confirmation email at your UTD email address when the change is made.

Benefits of the electronic W-2 include earlier receipt of the form and the ability to access and reprint the form at your convenience. If you will be accessing your W-2 from an off-campus computer, you will be required to sign up for NetID Plus. Former employees can still access Galaxy for up to three years from their last day of work to access paystubs and W-2 forms.
