What You Need To Know

Each pay period, you chip in for your benefits coverage — this is called your per-pay-period contribution. How much you pay depends on the plan you choose and who you elect to cover.

How Contributions Are Made

Your contributions for medical, dental and vision benefits, the health savings account (HSA), and the health care FSA and dependent care FSA are deducted from your paycheck before taxes are withheld. This lowers your taxable income.

For supplemental employee life insurance, supplemental AD&D insurance, and optional spouse and dependent child life insurance, as well as other optional benefits like the legal plan, identity theft protection plan and supplemental health care plans, your contributions are deducted on an after-tax basis.

Tobacco Surcharge

Each year during Open Enrollment, you must attest to your tobacco use status. If you are a tobacco user, you’ll be charged a tobacco surcharge of $40 per month on your medical plan contributions. To avoid the tobacco surcharge, you can choose to complete a tobacco cessation program, which will help you reduce or eliminate tobacco use. Contact your health care plan provider for more information.
