Pre-tax Benefits
Pre-tax benefits can provide you with tax savings by allowing you to pay for your health and dental premiums, eligible dependent daycare, out-of-pocket medical, dental, and work-related transportation expenses with tax-free dollars. Contributions toward these accounts are taken from your paychecks before taxes are deducted, and since you pay less in taxes, your net income may be greater.
The benefits are available to employees who are paid through the State’s Central Payroll. Employees of other organizations participating in SEGIP, paid through independent payroll systems, may have similar benefits (ask your Human Resources office about the availability of pre-tax benefits).
