                                                 Coverage in the plan begins on the first day of the month following an
                                                 employee's hire. If selection is not made within 30 days of employment,
                                                 employees must wait until the annual enrollment period (normally in
                                                 November). The employee pays the total premium through payroll
                                                 deduction. A detailed description of the plan is available from the Office of
