Submit notarized Affidavit of Domestic Partnership (if applicable)

If you are covering a Domestic Partner*, complete a notarized Affidavit of Domestic Partnership and submit to benefits@pps.net.

IMPORTANT: The value of your domestic partner health insurance coverage is considered a taxable benefit under federal IRS regulations. If you have domestic partner health insurance coverage, an additional taxable income, also known as imputed income, is added to your pay each month and then the appropriate taxes are withheld. The impact on your tax withholding will depend on your gross pay and your W-4 filing status.  PPS cannot provide tax advice.  We strongly encourage you to seek out a certified tax professional for assistance.

* A Domestic Partner is an unmarried individual of the same or opposite sex whom you have been living with for six months or more prior to enrolling in PPS benefits.  NOTE: A legally married spouse is not a Domestic Partner.
