Social Security State employees contribute a set amount each month to the Social Security System. This amount is matched by the state. For more information, contact the local Social Security Office. Supplemental Insurance Programs State agencies offer various insurance products to employees through private insurance providers.
Products vary by agency depending on what the agency insurance committee selects.
Insurance products available to employees may include life, dental, disability, accidental death and dismemberment, prepaid legal expenses and others. These plans are underwritten by private companies so coverage may continue if the employee leaves state service. Participation in supplemental insurance products is voluntary. Premiums may be deducted from the paycheck. The agency benefits representative will have information on the products available.
