Summary Statements
All regular faculty and staff employees who made changes to or elections in their Maryland state benefits during the Open Enrollment (OE) period that ended May 14, 2008 will be receiving their official summary statement of benefit elections for 2009 via campus mail. Direct pay employees (contingent staff, lecturers and part-time faculty members) who made any changes during OE will receive their summary statements at their home address directly from the State of MD Department of Budget and Management- Employee Benefits Division (DBM-EBD).
It is extremely important that you carefully review your summary statement as soon as you receive it. Any administrative errors must be noted on a copy of your summary statement and returned, along with an explanation of the error, to TU?s Office of Human Resources (OHR) Benefits Unit no later than Monday, June 16. Forgetting to make a change, wanting to switch plans because of availability of providers or wanting to change the amount of a Flexible Spending Account for FY 09 are not considered administrative errors! Employees who did not make any changes or elections during OE will not receive a summary statement.
Please note that if your summary statement shows a * next to any dependents or next to your MD State Term Life insurance selection, you must submit the required documentation to OHR?s Benefits Unit within 30 days of the date listed on the bottom right portion of your summary statement.
Payroll Deductions and Direct Pay Coupons
New payroll deductions for regular staff and 26-pay faculty will occur in the July 9, 2008 paycheck; regular 21-pay faculty will see those new deductions in their September 3, 2008 paycheck.
Direct pay employees whose new contract dates have been sent to the OHR?s Benefit Unit should receive their new payment coupons before the end of June. Any direct pay employees who have not received their new coupons by July 10 should call the DBM-EBD at 410-767-4775 and select option #2 to check on the status of their coupons.
