31 Days
Make Benefit Elections

  • Effective Dates

    • Most benefits are effective the first of the month following your actively-at-work date. Click here to view the dates benefits become effective.
    • TRS-ActiveCare gives you the option to have medical coverage effective on your actively at work date; however, you will owe the full medical premium for that month. Premium is not pro-rated for a partial month of coverage.

  • Premiums

    • Premiums are deducted in arrears. For example, premiums for September coverage are deducted from the September paycheck. Biweekly employees pay the monthly premium in two equal payroll deductions each month.
    • Biweekly paid employees… For months with three paychecks, premiums will only be deducted from the first two paychecks of that month.
    • If the timing of your benefit elections results in missed payroll deductions, any premiums owed will be deducted from the next following paycheck.
    • View your paychecks to confirm accurate benefits and premium deductions.
