2009 Employer Contribution for Health, Dental, and Vision Benefits
These charts show how much the State will pay each month toward the health, dental, and vision benefits for active employees in 2009. These amounts come from your bargaining unit's contract if you're a rank-and-file employee.
If you're not in CoBen, the employer contribution to your dental plan premium depends on what plan you choose.
Consolidated Benefits (CoBen)
CoBen applies to units 2, 7, 8, 16, 17, 18, and 19, and to employees excluded from collective bargaining.
If you're excluded from bargaining, or if your unit negotiated for Consolidated Benefits, the State provides a CoBen allowance. The CoBen allowance applies to all three benefits: health, dental, and vision.
Use DPA's CoBen Calculator (Workbook for Excel 2007 users) to see how much will be deducted from or added to your paycheck based on which health and dental plans you choose. Vision benefits are included automatically.
Health Dependent Vesting
Health dependent vesting applies to units 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21.
New employees who have never been eligible for State health benefits may be subject to health dependent vesting.
Health dependent vesting means you receive the full allowance for Employee Only health coverage, but less than the full amount for Employee + Dependents during your first two years of State employment.
- You receive 50% of the employer contribution to your health plan for dependents during the first year.
- You receive 75% of the employer contribution to your health plan for dependents during the second year.
- After two years, you receive the full employer contribution to your health plan for dependents.
Please refer to your personnel office if you have questions about dependent vesting.
