We have been actively working with our new insurance broker, Hub International, to secure you better voluntary insurance benefits at more competitive pricing. For this year - 2025 - for members who elected voluntary benefits and whose payroll premium deposits stopped as of April 1, 2025, it is necessary to collect and remit any missed premium payments to the insurance carriers to ensure your continued coverage. To accomplish this, Beginning September 19th, 2025, any missed premiums will be evenly spread across all remaining pay periods through December 26, 2025. These amounts will be automatically added to your resumed deductions. These payback payments will be completed by the end of the year, and the new lower cost premiums and better insurance benefits will start in January 2026.
