Costs for J-1s OTHER THAN REGISTERED STUDENTS
Non registered J-1 Visa holders are enrolled in benefits through their host department. J-1 visitors are enrolled for the full period covered by their DS-2019 form, calculated on the current cost of $90.00 per month.
Costs for J-2 Dependents of J-1s OTHER THAN REGISTERED STUDENTS
Payment to enroll a J-2 dependent of a J-1 visitor who is not a registered student is done based on the validity dates of the J-1 visitor's current DS-2019, calculated on a monthly basis. If the dependent visa is being requested at the time of the initial DS-2019, the payment must be for the full period of the DS-2019 and must be submitted to CIFSS by the host department along with the payment for the primary visa holder. If the dependents are coming after the J-1 has arrived, the payment must be made by the J-1 visitor directly to CIFSS and will be calculated on a monthly rate beginning the month of anticipated arrival of the dependent(s) through the end of the J-1 visitor's current DS-2019.
The current costs for J-2 dependents are:
Spouse or Domestic Partner- $197.00/month
