Before And After Tax Election
Employees must choose whether to have medical
and dental deductions made before or after taxes. Deducting premiums
before taxes lowers your total taxable income
and reduces the income taxes you have to pay. Deducting premiums
after taxes means that all taxes, including Social
Security, are based on your full income.
Information will be available with paychecks
on May 2. The election form must be returned to the Department
of Personnel, Employee Benefits, 1114 Market, Suite 900, no later
than 5 p.m. on May 23.
You do not need to complete an election form
if you wish to continue your current election. Any changes in
your election will be effective June 22, 2008.
