Your October 1 paycheck may look different for any of the following reasons:

• Health insurance rates for dependents increased.
• State of Texas Dental Choice PlanSM rates increased.
• HumanaDental DHMO rates decreased.
• Optional Term Life Insurance rates may have changed due to changes in your salary and/or your age.
• Summer Enrollment elections took effect.
• You elected membership dues for an employee association, such as the Texas Public Employees Association, to be deducted from your check. ERS does not handle employee association membership dues.
