A Smart Way to Save

Pre-tax benefits allow you to reduce your taxable income by using pre-tax dollars to pay for certain eligible expenses. This includes your State Employee Group Insurance Program (SEGIP) health and dental insurance premiums, dependent day care, out-of-pocket medical and dental costs, and qualified work-related transportation expenses. The administrator for the State's Pre-Tax benefits is Benefit Resources (BRI).

If elected, the Flexible Benefits and Transit Expense Plans can be an important part of your total benefits package because they allow you to pay for certain medical, dependent daycare, and your work-related transit expenses with pre-tax dollars. Because these contributions are deducted from your paycheck before taxes are calculated, you may end up paying less in taxes and increasing your overall take-home pay.

Eligibility

The pre-tax 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).
