Premium Holiday and Dental Discounts

Human Resources (Payroll) would like to share with you information regarding your paycheck for May.

Premium Holiday – Earlier this year Benefits Administration (BA) recommended and the State Insurance Committee voted to give all active state and higher education employees a premium holiday for June 2020 coverage.   This means there will be no deduction for the health insurance premium this May.

Dental Discounts for MetLife and Cigna Members – In response to COVID-19, Cigna and MetLife are giving a dental premium discount to enrolled members. MetLife will give a 25% discount for April and May coverage and Cigna will give a 25% discount for March, April, and May coverage.  Both discounts will impact May paychecks. Benefits Administration has sent emails to all enrolled members for whom they had email addresses in Edison. Member emails included a letter and a flier with a chart showing members’ discounts.
