ANNOUNCEMENTS
New Commuter Benefits
Beginning March 1, 2017, State Security Agency Commuter Benefits will now be provided by ADP.
COMMUTER SPENDING ACCOUNTS TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING
Save Money on Your Commute Use pre-tax money to save on eligible commuting expenses:
• Bus
• Parking
• Subway
• Train
What is a CSA?
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CSAs:
How will a CSA save me money?
You pay less in taxes. Here’s an example:
“I contribute $240 per month to my CSA to pay for commuting expenses. By using pre-tax money, I’m saving more than $800 a year.
CSA Participant
How do I know if I'm eligible to enroll?
You are eligible if you take mass transportation, participate in a vanpool, or have parking expenses related to your commute to and from work.
Note: This is a month-to-month benefit. You can enroll, change or cancel it at any time.
What are the dollar limits on tax-free transit and parking benefits?
Because both accounts are pre-tax benefits, the IRS limits the amount you may allocate to each account. The limits are determined each year by the IRS. Ask your human resources representative for the current commuter spending account limits.
How do I use my CSA?
Your card can be used for debit or credit transactions to make qualified transit or parking purchases. Purchases can be made where Visa® is accepted by selecting “Credit or Debit” at the time of purchase. Your card cannot be used for cash advances or to make cash withdrawals.
Can I combine the dollar limits from month to month?
No. The specified limits for transit, parking and vanpool apply individually to each calendar month.
What happens if I have a remaining balance in my account after six months (or if I leave the company)?
CSA participants have 180 days from the date of their last contribution to use their CSA debit card to purchase Transit or Parking benefits. If an employee is leaving the company, they will have up until their last day to use their CSA debit card to purchase Transit or Parking benefits. CSA participants may also submit Parking claims during this timeframe.
How do I enroll?
Determine what you typically spend monthly on qualified commuting expenses. Then, enter your per pay period deduction amount through your employer’s Benefits Enrollment Module. Your available account funds are loaded on your card following each payroll cycle and are available immediately.

NY Paid Family Leave Announcement
December 1, 2017
Dear Employee,
You may have heard or read about the new New York Paid Family Leave law (PFL) that has passed. While the new law doesn’t go into effect until January 1, 2018, it presents some important changes for you and your family. We have prepared this summary for you so that you are aware of your rights under the law. Let’s start with the basics:
What is the New York Paid Family Leave Law?
New York Paid Family Leave (PFL) is job-protected, paid time away from work mandated by New York State. That means eligible employees may take NY PFL:
• to take care of a seriously ill family member;
• to bond with a newborn, adopted, or foster child;
• or to attend to family issues related to a qualifying military deployment.
Who is eligible?
Every employee working full time (20 or more hours per week) in the state of New York is eligible for coverage after 26 weeks of consecutive employment. Part-time employees are eligible after 175 days of employment. Every employer is required to comply.
What is the benefit?
The New York PFL benefit for 2018 is set as follows:
• 50% of your average weekly wage, not to exceed 50% of the New York State average weekly wage, for a maximum of 8 weeks
However, the benefit is set to increase each year for the following three years, as follows:
• 2019 55% of average weekly wage for a maximum of 10 weeks
• 2020 60% of average weekly wage for a maximum of 10 weeks
• 2021 67% of average weekly wage for a maximum of 12 weeks
Who pays for the program?
The state has mandated that all employees will pay for the new coverage through payroll deduction at a rate of 0.126% of your weekly wages, not to exceed the statewide average weekly wage. As of right now, that average is $1,306, which means your deduction will not exceed $1.65 per week. This cap means that while your actual contribution is dependent upon your wages, it will not exceed $85.56 for all of 2018. Deduction for SSA eligible employees will automatically start December 7, 2017.
Opting out
You can only opt out of Paid Family Leave if you do not expect to work for your employer for the minimum amount of time required for eligibility. If you meet one of the criteria below and wish to opt out, you can do so by completing a Paid Family Leave waiver, which is available here (http://www.statesecurityagency.net/NY-PFL-Opt-Out-Form.pdf). A waiver of family leave benefits may be filed when:
• Your schedule is 20 hours or more per week, but you will not work 26 consecutive weeks; or
• Your schedule is less than 20 hours per week and you will not work 175 days in a 52-consecutive week period.
Health insurance benefits.
Under the NY PFL law, employees are entitled to continue their group health insurance benefits during their covered leave. Employees will be responsible for continuing to pay their share of insurance premiums during this period.
