2009 Health Premium Rates

 

The CAPS MOU requires the state pay 80% of the weighted average of the four largest plans. As a result, the state’s 2009 contribution toward each "vested" employee’s health plan is $382 for a single, $762 for two-party and $994 for families for vested employees.* The state’s contribution for employees with less than two years state service, called "non-vested" employees, is lower, as noted below. Employees must pay the difference between the state contribution rate and the premium for the enrolled health plan.

PERS Select, PERSChoice and PERSCare have reduced premiums for 2009, making the PERS Select Plan more competitive with the other HMO programs.

 

Details on plan changes will come directly from CalPERS to individual members, or go to the CalPERS website. Open enrollment is held from September 15 - October 10, 2008 for the 2009 enrollment year.

 

*Vested employees are defined as those with at least 24 months completed state service.
