Pre-Tax Health/Dental Insurance Plan

The City of Brockton has adopted a Pre-Tax Health/Dental Insurance Plan to save you money on your insurance premiums. Under this plan, if you have Health/Dental Insurance through the City of Brockton, your premiums can be deducted from your salary on a Pre-Tax basis. Your premiums can be deducted before federal or state taxes or retirement deductions are withheld. This means that you will not have to pay state or federal income taxes on your share of the costs of Health/Dental insurance premiums, which result in a slightly larger paycheck. This will not affect the amount deducted on your current insurance benefits; coverage will remain the same.

The Internal Revenue Service requires that under the Pre-Tax Premium Payment Plan you can change your Health/Dental plan deductions once a year during the annual open enrollment. Whichever election you choose, you may not change your mind until the annual open enrollment period, or unless one of the following occurs:

  • You get married
  • The birth or adoption of a child
  • Your spouse or dependent dies
  • Your spouse commences or is terminated from your employment
  • You or your spouse take an unpaid leave of absence
  • You involuntarily lose Health/Dental insurance through no fault on your own.
