Deductions from pay for these benefits are taken on a pre-tax and after-tax basis. Paying premiums on a pre-tax basis saves you federal, state, and social security taxes. When you pay premiums on a pre-tax basis, you can only change your coverage during Open Enrollment or if you have a Qualified Family Status Change, and you make the change within 30 days of the event. This is not a contract. Refer to the IH website for more details. All services are subject to the provisions of the insurance contracts and related Plan Documents. IH reserves the sole right to modify and or terminate Plan coverage.
