How will my health benefits be affected during the period of Voluntary Furlough?
If you are covered by the State Health Benefits Program), and take a furlough on an intermittent basis, or consecutive furlough days numbering fewer than 30 days (furlough days taken through December 31, 2008 are not subject to the 30 day limit), employer-paid health benefit coverage will be unaffected. If you are required to pay any share of the premiums or the 1.5% base wage contribution, and there is insufficient salary earned in a pay period to cover this deduction, payment must be made by remitting your employee cost/share in advance to your employer. If payment is not received, health benefits coverage will be suspended for the pay periods in which the furlough is taken. Health benefits coverage will resume when you return to active payroll status and with the filing of an application, as is the case for any return from authorized leave of absence.
