For employees covering a domestic partner, the IRS requires the District to withhold federal and Social Security taxes on the fair market value of the domestic partner and their dependents’ coverage.  This is in addition to the base premium that all employees pay based on the plan they choose. State taxes may also be withheld depending on the employee’s situation. The Imputed Income is also subject to the 6% PERS contribution for OPSRP Pension Members only (hired on or after August 29, 2003). Please contact the PPS Benefits Department for more details.

The Trust will cover Domestic Partners so long as the employee provides the appropriate documentation:

1. Application for domestic partner registration; and,
2. Confirmation of registration by the applicable county/state entity in which they applied for DP designation
