Pay Your Premium by Automatic Pension Deduction
NOTE: It is important to pay your Health Plan premium A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE DUE DATE to ensure continuous access to your benefits. Automatic pension deduction guarantees your payment will be processed before your due date as long as your monthly benefit amount is sufficient to pay your entire premium amount.
Retired participants on Certified Retiree or Retiree Carry-over Coverage and who are receiving a Basic Plan monthly benefit can have your premium deducted directly from your Basic Plan monthly pension benefit each month as long as there are enough funds to withhold the premiums.
To enroll in automatic pension deduction, complete and submit a Pension Deduction Authorization Form, available here. Your completed form must be received by the 15th of the month in order to begin pension deduction the following month.
