5 CFR 892.301: How do I pay my premium?
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 5—Administrative Personnel
- CHAPTER I—OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
- SUBCHAPTER B—CIVIL SERVICE REGULATIONS
- PART 892—FEDERAL FLEXIBLE BENEFITS PLAN: PRE-TAX PAYMENT OF HEALTH BENEFITS PREMIUMS
- Subpart C—Contributions and Withholdings
As a participant in premium conversion, instead of having your premium withheld from after-tax salary, your salary will be reduced (through a Federal allotment) by the amount equal to your FEHB premium, which you will allot to your agency. The allotment from salary satisfies the FEHB premium payment requirement of 5 U.S.C. 8906. Your employer is authorized to accept this allotment under § 550.311(a)(7) and § 550.312 of this chapter or, for employers not subject to those regulations, a similar mechanism. Your agency will use the allotment to pay your share of your FEHB premium. This will reduce your taxable income as described in § 892.102.
