Benefit Premium

Introduction

  • Benefit Premiums are due upon every two-week pay period and are usually paid via the biweekly payroll cycle.
  • If an employee does not receive enough pay to cover the total deductions during the bi-weekly payroll cycle, the employee must pay the total benefit premium (employee and employer portions) directly to ADOA. You will be billed for the premiums owed.

Failure To Pay

  • If an employee fails to pay premiums on or before the due date, the employee's benefits will be terminated retroactively to the last day of coverage for which the premiums were paid in full.
  • An employee whose coverage has been canceled for non-payment will be responsible for any expenses incurred related to benefit services received after the last day of coverage.
