From the Vice President for Finance and Management

This change reflects the 4.1 percent increase in the medical care component of the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) for July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008.

The annual deductible for CSEA employees will remain at $225.
