Twice Monthly Deductions
New Twice Monthly Premium Contributions
Good news for our CCSF Active Employee members: HSS is making healthcare coverage periods easier to understand. Effective July 2008 healthcare contributions will only be deducted from paychecks twice monthly. This simplifies the relationship between healthcare contributions deducted from your
paycheck and the associated healthcare coverage dates. New HSS members (and existing members adding eligible dependents) can more easily determine the effective date of their healthcare coverage. Members who are terminating HSS coverage or going on leave can more easily understand when their healthcare coverage ends.
Two Paychecks Per Year With No Deductions
The new healthcare contribution deduction calendar results in a total of 24 payroll deductions per year. (Previously, employee contributions were made on a biweekly basis, for a total of 26 deductions per year.) Effective July 2008, your first paycheck each month will have a deduction that pays for healthcare coverage for the first half of that month. Your second paycheck each month will have a deduction that pays for healthcare coverage for the second half of the month. There will be no healthcare contribution deduction taken from your third paycheck in the months of September 2008 and March 2009. While the twice monthly deductions will be nominally higher amounts, the amount of your total annual healthcare contribution will remain the same, based on the year's plan rates.
