What is CoBen? The Consolidated Benefits (CoBen) is a program the State uses to fund health, dental and vision coverage for BU6 Supervisor members.
How does it work? The State gives you a set amount based on the number of dependents you will cover ($1,335 for a family in 2012).
You select from a variety of health and dental plans, all with different monthly premiums. The cost of your choices, plus your vision premium, is calculated against the CoBen. You either pay toward your monthly premiums, or if your total is lower than the CoBen, get the difference back in additional taxable income each month.
Want to maximize your benefit dollar? Use your CCPOA membership to take advantage of Trust dental and health programs. These are available in many areas throughout the State. When you enroll in Trust programs, you can get more back each month from your CoBen.
