Will my benefits be impacted due to the furlough?
Benefits will continue. This is a requirement of the NY State Shared Work Program. Please refer to the Benefits While on Furlough fact sheet for complete details.
Your benefits will continue according to your elections on file. Premium contributions for health & welfare benefits will continue to be deducted from your biweekly paycheck. Pay-related benefits, such as Pension Plan and Investment Plan contributions, will be reduced as a result of the reduced work schedule.
Can I make changes to my benefit elections while I’m on furlough?
Because you have experienced a significant change in your regular work hours, you may make changes to your benefit elections. To make a change, please send a message through “Contact Us” on My Total Rewards or by calling the ABC Co Benefits Network. You have 90 days from the date of your furlough to make a change.
