Note: If the Medical plan is waived the Dental and Vision plan premium will be 100% paid by PCC. Enrollment is not automatic you must enroll via Benxcel.

If you are adding dependents to your medical insurance, you must provide proof of eligible dependent status by providing a copy of the birth certificate(s) for any eligible dependent children under the age of 26 or tax forms- IRS, 1040 page one only for spouses. Unfortunately, the District cannot enroll you in our benefit programs until you sign up for the benefits on Benxcel.

All benefit payroll deductions are taken on a pre-tax basis. Rates are subject to change every October 1st. 

Fall Semester: First deduction will be October 5th if coverage starts on September 1st. Last deduction will be on the March 5th check.  If you decide to continue coverage for the spring measurement period month then the last deduction will be on your April 5th check.

Spring Semester: First deduction will be April 5th if coverage starts in March. Last deduction will be on September 5th check. If you decide to continue coverage for the fall measurement period month then the last deduction will be on your October 5th check.

Note: There are no payroll deductions during the months of July and February. If there is no Winter intersession the February check will have a deduction.

If Adjunct does not have enough pay or does not get paid, we will double the deduction the following month if they are assigned a course. If they are not working, we may request a personal check. 

• The District pays 80% of premiums for employee-only medical coverage. Medical coverage for eligible dependents can be purchased.
• Employees will have their premium contributions deducted from their paycheck on a pre-tax basis for 5-months or 4-months to cover 6-months of coverage. *Note: There is no payroll deduction for the month of July.
• Employees may waive the coverage by completing the Waiver Form.
• If a deduction is missed due to insufficient earnings, it is still the employee’s responsibility to ensure that their premium payment is received to avoid cancellation of coverage.
• If your FTE load drops to under 40% and you no longer qualify for medical benefits, you are eligible for COBRA benefits through Benefit Coordinators Corporation or you may also shop for coverage in the Marketplace, by visiting their website at HealthCare.gov or coverca.com.
• If you are currently enrolled and requalify for the current semester you do not need to re-enroll if you wish to continue with your benefits.  
• You have the option to extend the coverage during the first month of the semester while the district's scheduling census is finalized.
