Voluntary Benefit Programs

TAX ADVANTAGE PREMIUM PLAN (TAPP)
The TAPP program allows employees to pay required medical plan premiums on a pre-tax basis. Enrollment in the plan is automatic. Should you choose not to participate you must notify the Office of Human Resources. The IRS restricts changes to the plan after initial enrollment. Changes or cancellations can only be made during the annual Open Enrollment period. Specific information is available in the Office of Human Resources.

FLEXCASH PROGRAM
FlexCash is an optional program that allows eligible employees to waive enrollment in a CSU medical and/or dental insurance plan in exchange for additional cash in your monthly paycheck if you have other non-CSU coverage. If you cancel your existing CSU medical and/or dental plans(s), you will also receive additional cash in your paycheck each month. You may enroll in the FlexCash program at the time of your initial eligibility or during the annual Open Enrollment period. You may make changes during the plan year only if you have an allowable change of family status (birth, marriage, death, adoption). More detailed information and enrollment forms are available in the Office of Human Resources.

DEPENDENT CARE REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM
This program allows eligible employees to pay for certain dependent care expenses through pre-tax payroll deductions. A selected amount is deducted from the employee's salary each month, and held in a special account until the employee incurs an eligible expense and files a claim for reimbursement. Strict IRS rules govern these tax-free dependent accounts. Employees may only enroll in this pre-tax program during the first 60 days of employment or during the annual Open Enrollment period. Further information is available in the Office of Human Resources.

MISCELLANEOUS VOLUNTARY INSURANCE PLANS
A variety of voluntary group insurance programs including: term and universal life, disability, accidental death and dismemberment, cancer reimbursement, automobile, homeowners and renters insurance are available. These are payroll deductible and offered at group rates. More detailed information and enrollment forms are available in the Office of Human Resources.
