ABOUT YOUR BENEFITS Your Cost for Coverage Your benefit options and cost for coverage are displayed when you log in to enroll or make changes to your benefits. After reviewing your options and making your elections, your total per pay period contribution will be displayed. Your medical contribution reflects your earned wellness incentive. The total per pay period employee contribution for your benefits will be deducted from each paycheck over 24 pay periods. When a month has three paychecks, regular benefit premiums will not be deducted from the third paycheck. Pre-tax or After-tax Contributions Pre-tax means that your share of the benefit cost is deducted from your paycheck before taxes are applied and deducted. When you pay for benefits on a pre-tax basis you pay less federal income and Social Security taxes, so you save money. Pre-tax benefits include contributions for medical, vision, dental, long-term disability, health care and dependent care spending accounts. After-tax benefits include medical, dental, vision, and life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) premiums associated to cover a registered domestic partner, premiums for employee life and AD&D benefits greater than one times pay, spouse and child life and AD&D, and voluntary benefits elected. Contributions for a Registered Domestic Partner If you cover a registered domestic partner, the cost per pay period for medical, vision, and dental coverage for ALL dependents is taxable. Your paycheck will show two deductions. One will be pre-tax, equal to the cost for ‘employee only’ coverage; the other will be after-tax, equal to the additional cost of the adult plus any child coverage. To qualify for pre-tax contributions for medical, vision, and dental coverage for your registered domestic partner, you must notify the HR Service Center in writing that your registered domestic partner qualifies as a "dependent" under Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code. Please provide a copy of the notice and other appropriate forms to the HR Service Center.
