Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Except as
					 otherwise provided in Section
					 599.513 and subsection
					 599.512(e), the
					 employer shall contribute toward the cost of coverage for each enrolled
					 employee, annuitant, and family member, other than for periods during which the
					 enrollment of an employee is continued under the provisions of subsections
					 599.504(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or
					 (g), or for a person who is eligible to
					 enroll only on the condition that he or she pay the total cost of his or her
					 coverage, exclusive of contribution made by the employer to the Public
					 Employees' Contingency Reserve Fund in the amount provided by law.
(b) The contribution of each enrolled
					 employee and annuitant toward the cost of coverage under the plan in which he
					 or she is enrolled shall be an amount equal to the gross contribution rate
					 established for the plan by contract, less the contribution to be made by the
					 employer under subsection
					 599.512(a). The
					 gross contribution rate shall consist of the basic contribution rate set forth
					 in the contract.
Where enrollment is continued under Section
						599.504 and the employer does not
						contribute under subsection
						599.512 (a), the
						employee shall remit monthly during such continuation the gross contribution
						rate for his or her coverage under the plan to the carrier on or before the
						tenth day of the month preceding the month for which the contribution was due,
						or pursuant to any other arrangement agreed to by the Board. For all other
						enrollments the gross contribution rate required less the contribution made by
						the employer under subsection
						599.512 (a) shall
						be withheld from salary or retirement allowance warrants.
For the purposes of application of this subsection to
						contributions due for enrollment in a prior year, the gross contribution rate
						and the employer's contribution under subsection
						599.512 (a) shall
						be such a contribution rate for the year for which contribution is
						due.
(c) Contributions shall
					 commence with the first salary or retirement allowance warrant payable to the
					 employee or annuitant preceding the effective date of enrollment, and shall be
					 made for coverage for a full period of one month. Contributions of the employer
					 shall commence on the effective date of enrollment.
(d) Contributions shall terminate with the
					 last contribution made immediately prior to the termination of
					 enrollment.
(e) Contributions for
					 an enrolled employee absent because of workers' compensation disability for
					 which he or she has applied for temporary disability compensation, who
					 continues enrollment under Section
					 599.504, shall be paid as follows:
(1) During the period of adjudication of his
					 or her application for compensation and thereafter during such time as he or
					 she receives temporary disability compensation which is not supplemented by
					 sick leave or vacation, or if such supplemental payments are not sufficient to
					 permit the deduction of his or her contribution, the employee shall pay the
					 total cost of coverage as provided under subsection
					 599.512
					 (b).
(2) Upon establishment of entitlement to
					 temporary disability compensation and his or her election to supplement such
					 compensation with sick leave or vacation, the employee shall be entitled to
					 receive payment of the employer's contribution for the period of adjudication,
					 and deduction of the employee's contributions from payroll and payment of the
					 employer's contributions shall continue thereafter so long as supplemental
					 payments permit deduction of the full contribution of the
					 employee.
