Important Information for Unit 6 Fee Payers

On October 30, 2007, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association (CCPOA) Benefit Trust Fund informed the Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) that the Trust Fund would discontinue, effective October 31, 2007, dental and vision coverage for Unit 6 employees who are fair share fee payers.

Due to this circumstance, the State will be offering these employees the opportunity to enroll in the State-sponsored dental and vision benefits plans. This action will ensure that the affected employees and their families will not suffer a disruption in benefit coverage.

There are approximately 1,000 employees who may be affected by this action. DPA has contacted the appropriate carriers and updated the contracts with the carriers to ensure that the affected employees and their families have options to enroll in the State- sponsored dental and vision plans.

DPA will send the attached letter to the home address of affected employees ensuring them of their continued coverage and presenting them with their coverage options.
