The PCP is a voluntary benefit program that allows employees to pay for their health plan premiums on a pre-tax basis.

Employees who are already enrolled in the PCP and who do not want to make any changes, do not need to do anything since their participation in the PCP will automatically continue.

Employees who wish to enroll, change, or terminate their participation in the PCP, should do so during the open enrollment period.  Open Enrollment PCP enrollments, changes, and cancellations must be done in Section 3 of the EC-1.

Employees should review the PCP Plan Document before making changes. (updated 3/24/2017)

The Governor has approved the use of up to two (2) hours of work time, including travel time, to attend an open enrollment informational session or up to 1-1/2 hours to view a webinar.
