Opt-Out Program for 2016
In 2016, NYSHIP will continue to offer the Opt-Out Program, which allows eligible employees who have other employer-sponsored group health insurance to opt out of their NYSHIP coverage in exchange for an incentive payment. The incentive payment is $1,000 for opting out of individual coverage or $3,000 for opting out of family coverage on an annual basis. The incentive payments are prorated and added to your bi-weekly paycheck as taxable income.
If you are interested in participating in the Opt-Out Program, you must complete a NYS Health Insurance Transaction Form and an Opt-Out Attestation Form. These forms may also be obtained in the Human Resources Office.
If you currently participate in the Opt-Out Program for 2015 and wish to continue to receive incentive payments, you must elect to opt out for 2016.
The deadline for enrolling or re-enrolling in the Opt-Out Program is December 18, 2015.
