A big thank you to Cindy Forest, DAS HRSD and Isabel Joslen and Kathy Loretz from PEBB who were planning to be available to answer questions for PEBB 2012. Currently, we do not have plans to reschedule. We will monitor questions the OSPS Help Desk, DAS HRSD and PEBB receive and decide if we need to schedule a "make-up" forum in the future.

Katherine Bremser Training Coordinator Oregon Statewide Payroll Services State Controller's Division Department of Administrative Services 503-373-0738 Online Resource Center: http://oregon.gov/DAS/SCD/OSPS/ Data Classification: Level 1 - Published Date: January 18, 2012 To: All Human Resource and Payroll Representatives: From: DAS Human Resource Service Division and Oregon Statewide Payroll Services A question has come up about employees who are eligible to receive a $30/$40 insurance subsidy, and whether the subsidy continues if the employee is in leave without pay, on protected leave, and qualifies for insurance. The answer is yes, as long as the employee continues to pay his or her share of their insurance premium payments and surcharges, the $30/$40 continues to be paid toward the employee's insurance premium. Please forward this information to your Human Resource and Payroll Staff. Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There now is a plan code SLNN 101 that is the Post Tax Plan code for Basic Life. All other PEBB deductions already have the post tax plan codes. Just remember if the employee is self paying their insurance it cannot be a pretax deduction. If you received the XREF68N-C report (Employees with Negative Amounts), you will need to clear those negatives by changing plan codes to post tax and setting corrective for December.
