New Benefits Paycheck Deductions Start Now
Your first paycheck in January is an excellent time to check deductions for benefits coverage you elected during annual enrollment in November. Even if you didn’t change your benefits during annual enrollment, paycheck deductions for benefits might have changed. Review your January 15 pay stub online through mybmcrewards.com, click on ADP―View Paycheck. Contributions per pay period for medical, dental, and vision coverage are available here.
Here are some specific items you may want to look for as you review your pay stub:
Benefit Coverage
Your 2021 benefit deductions may be higher or lower than last year. Deductions depend on what coverage you elected during annual enrollment, the dependents you covered, and whether you qualified for the wellness discount. To verify your 2021 deductions, compare your first 2021 pay stub against your printed confirmation statement from annual enrollment. Your pay stub will show your deductions for medical, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, health savings account, and any other coverage you elected or received for 2021.
If you didn’t print a confirmation statement after you enrolled, check your 2021 benefits coverage any time by visiting mybmcrewards.com and click on the Your Health and Insurance Coverage tile. Please report any issues with deductions to Your Benefits Resources at 1-877-262-4849. Representatives are available on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Eastern time.
