2008 Employer Contribution for Health, Dental, and Vision Benefits
The following charts show the amount the State will pay each month toward the health, dental, and vision benefits for active employees in 2008. These amounts were negotiated as part of your bargaining unit's contract, if you're a rank-and-file employee. If you're an excluded employee (an employee who's not covered by a contract) or a rank-and-file employee in a unit that's negotiated for Consolidated Benefits, the State pays you a CoBen allowance that's applied to all three of these benefits (health, dental, and vision).

* Dependent Vesting Criteria: New employees who have never had State health benefit coverage may be subject to dependent health vesting. Employees in bargaining units that have contracted for dependent vesting are provided with 50% of the employer dependent contribution the first 12 months, and 75% of the employer dependent contribution for months 13 through 24. After 24 months, these employees will receive the full employer dependent contribution applicable to their bargaining unit.
