The Premium Conversion Plan (PCP) provides an opportunity to health care plan participants to save some tax dollars and make the most of their paychecks.
Employees who are enrolled in any health care plan offered through the EUTF (excluding Part-time and Temporary Medical and Prescription Drug Plan) may participate and increase their take home pay by paying their health premium contribution on a pre-tax basis. Most employees elect to pre-tax their premiums.
You are eligible to participate in the plan if you are an employee of the State and enrolled in any health care plan (medical, dental or vision) offered through the Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund (“EUTF”) and your payroll deductions are processed through the Department of Accounting and General Services.
New employees may enroll in the Plan when they become eligible to enroll in any of the eligible health benefits plans. Normally, this is within ninety (90) calendar days of the date he/she was hired. Employees wishing to enroll in PCP, shall make their selection (in Section 3 of the EUTF’s enrollment form).
