For health plan benefits, you may select the complete package of Medical, Prescriptions, Dental and Vision – OR you may enroll for just Medical and Prescriptions as a “bundle” or just Dental and Vision as a “bundle”. The 2026 monthly contribution for non-bargaining employees for the complete package is $140.50 for single (employee only), and $359.44 for family (employee and one or more dependents). Contributions for employees under a collective bargaining agreement are subject to terms of the agreement. One-half of the monthly contribution is deducted from the first and second paychecks of each month, and contributions are made on a pre-tax basis. Health and group term life insurance coverage becomes effective the first of the month following one full calendar month after the month in which you were hired.
