Paying For Your Coverage
The Health Advocate, Basic Life/AD&D, Short Term Disability, Long Term Disability and Employee Assistance Program benefits are

Vision benefits you elect. Any Voluntary Life/AD&D or Voluntary Benefits you elect will be paid by you at discounted group rates.
Your Medical, Dental, and Vision contribu ons are deducted before taxes are withheld which saves you tax dollars. Paying for
benefits before-tax means that your share of the costs are deducted before taxes are determined, resul ng in more take-home pay
for you. As a result, the IRS requires that your elec ons remain in effect for the en re year. You cannot drop or change coverage
unless you experience a qualifying event.
