The Employee Benefits Division has implemented a change in policy regarding enrollees that have elected to participate in the Pre-Tax contribution Program (PTCP) and cover a non-federally qualified domestic partner or spouse. Previously, these enrollees would have had a split-tax deduction, the part of the premium they paid for the dependent portion of their coverage being taken as after-tax. Effective January 1, 2010, enrollees who elected to participate in the PTCP and who cover a non-federally qualified domestic partner or spouse will have their full employee share premium contribution for the cost of family health insurance coverage deducted on a before-tax basis.
