Paying for Coverage While on Leave
Paying Required Contributions
During your authorized unpaid leave of absence, you continue to pay contributions for the following before-tax plans, but on an after-tax basis:
  • Medical
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • Health Care Flexible Spending Account
  • Personal Accident Insurance
During your leave, you may also continue to pay contributions for the following after-tax plans:
  • Optional Life Insurance
  • Spouse Life Insurance
  • Dependent Children Life Insurance
  • Group Umbrella Liability Insurance
  • Personal Life Insurance
  • Long Term Care Insurance
  • Choice Auto and Home Insurance
  • Pet Insurance
  • Legal Assistance Plan
  • Identity Theft
You will be sent a bill to continue your coverage in the above plans. Generally, bills are generated on the 1st of the month for the previous month. For example, if you are on an authorized unpaid leave of absence for the month of September, you will be sent a bill in early October. Payment is due upon receipt and should be mailed as the bill instructs.
Note:
If you take an authorized unpaid leave of absence that is covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act, you may elect to continue your before-tax contributions to the Medical Plan, Dental Plan, Health Care Flexible Spending Account and Personal Accident Insurance Plan by prepaying them for the period of the leave (otherwise, you will pay for the contributions monthly on an after-tax basis). To prepay before-tax contributions, you must authorize a lump-sum payroll deduction prior to the start of the leave.
