On the April 3, 2025 pay period, incorrect deductions were taken for Long Term Disability (LTD), health, dental and travel for active employees. On the April 17, 2025 pay period, a credit for the over deduction was issued for health, dental and travel.
On the August 21 pay period, a refund will be issued for LTD deductions. Please note, the over deduction only applies to those with annual earnings less than or equal to $141,157. The amount to be credited will vary for each employee as the LTD benefit and applicable deduction are based on an individual’s earnings. Refunds to be issued range from $0.64 to $5.66. Following this adjustment, biweekly deductions will return to your regular amount.
