Some civilians to see 'adjustment bill'

  • Published
Some employees enrolled in the long-term care insurance program may soon receive an adjustment bill for uncollectible premiums, Office of Personnel Management officials announced.

Missed payments have occurred for various reasons, such as an employee entering into nonpay status; a paycheck with insufficient funds to cover the premium; or a timing issue with a particular pay period preventing normal payroll deduction, officials said.

Employees will be billed directly for missed premiums since the system cannot collect past-due premiums through payroll deduction. The adjustment bills will not affect current or future premiums that continue through payroll deduction, said officials.

Employees who receive an adjustment bill and have questions should call Long Term Care Partners at (800) 582-3337 or hearing-impaired TTY (800) 843-3557 weekdays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT. (Courtesy of Air Force Personnel Center News Service)
