Additional Premium Holidays for 2018
The State of Maryland announced yesterday that Governor Larry Hogan has approved two health premium holidays for the month of March for active and contractual employees enrolled in health coverage. Due to the approved additional premium holidays, there will be no deductions for medical, prescription or dental on March 9, 2018 or March 23, 2018 university pay check dates.
Please note: As part of our regularly scheduled semi-annual premium holidays for employees who have deductions, there will be no deductions for medical, prescription, dental, FSAs, and life insurance on April 6, 2018 or October 5, 2018.
