2. Pre-tax Premium - Available for Medical, Dental and Vision Benefits Only The Pre-Tax Premium Plan is offered to all NMSU employees enrolled in the NMSU Medical, Dental and Vision plans. Once pre-tax is opted, it will automatically apply to medical, dental and vision premiums.The Pre-Tax Plan allows employees to have their medical, dental and/or vision premiums (excluding domestic partner portions of the premium) deducted from their salaries before income taxes are calculated. By using the pre-tax method for premium payments, employees can reduce their taxable income, and through tax savings, lessen the impact of insurance costs on their spendable income.

Once enrollment in the Pre-Tax Premium Plan is completed, the Plan remains in effect during the employee's entire employment at NMSU: 1. unless cancelled during the annual enrollment period, or; 2. if a participant makes a mid-year election change in response to a change in status only if the election change is "on account of and corresponds with a change in status that affects eligibility for coverage under an employer's plan." Employees may want to consult with a tax advisor prior to making changes to the pre-tax or post-tax election. YES, I will accept the opportunity to enroll in the NMSU Pre-Tax Premium Plan. I hereby authorize NMSU to deduct from my salary each pay period the amount necessary to make my contributions toward payment of premiums for the NMSU Medical, Dental and Vision plans. I understand that the tax implications for the pre-tax program are regulated by the IRS. I hold NMSU harmless if any damages or losses occur to me, including penalty and interest assessment by the IRS. ______(initials) NO, I decline the opportunity to enroll in the NMSU Pre-Tax Premium Plan. I understand that I may enroll later only at the time of annual enrollment held in the Spring of each year with enrollment becoming effective July 1st.
