*Premiums pay for coverage for the month in which the deduction is taken.

Health premiums are deducted on a current per pay period basis. If your effective date of coverage falls within the pay period begin and end dates, you will have a deduction for that pay period.  Deductions are prorated for partial periods of coverage.

Example: New Hire’s coverage starts 1/1/2026, their first biweekly deduction will start on pay period 2 and will be prorated for 11 days of coverage.
