Effective June 1, 2015 the Spousal Group Life Insurance rates are changing as follows:

 

            Age at the Beginning                            Monthly Premium
​            of June 2015                                               per $1,000

               45-49                                                            $0.23

               75 and Older                                                 $3.33

The new rates are effective with coverage for the month of June 2015.  Therefore, the June 19, 2015 paycheck (paycheck issued for the payroll period ending June 6, 2015) will be the first check issued with the new rates, since Optional Group Life Insurance premiums are collected on the second biweekly paycheck of the month for that month’s coverage. 

 
The Department of Administration, Payroll Services Team will ensure the updates are made to the SHARP payroll system to effect this change for all employees from whom SHARP calculates pay.  Regent's institutions are responsible for ensuring that this change is made in their respective systems prior to June 1, 2015.
