-If you choose to enroll in the Open Access Managed Choice $15 plan, your plan contribution is based on a percentage of salary PLUS the premium cost differential between the $20/$30 and $15 plan. Email benefits@sbschools.org for instructions.

-If enrolled in the Savings Plus Plan and/or Dental Plans, your plan contribution is based on Chapter 78 guidelines. Note the following about Chapter 78 contributions (Savings Plus Plan and Dental Plans):

Chapter 78, P.L. 2011 requires public employees (and certain retirees) to contribute a percentage of the premium cost for their health coverage. Your contribution amount is based on your specific Collective Bargaining Agreement, salary range, and coverage tier (e.g., Single, Parent/Child, Member/Spouse/Partner, Family). Employees are required to pay either the calculated percentage or
1.5 percent of salary, whichever is higher.


Use the calculator shown here to figure your contribution amount for the Savings Plus and Dental plans currently offered by the Board. For more information about Chapter 78 contributions, review the Percentage of Premium Charts found at www.nj.gov.
