SHIP premium notices for those not on automatic deduction

In order to maintain the low cost of SHIP and the benefits provided, please be advised that the Board of Trustees has voted that all SHIP participants must be on check off for the SHIP premium effective January 1, 2011 thereafter. The only exceptions are those enrolled as COBRA, who do not receive a check and those retirees who receive a check that would not cover the SHIP deduction. You must sign for automatic deduction for 2011.

Therefore, if you are not signed up for check-off and we send you a bill; you will be charged an administrative fee of $30.00 in addition to your premium.
