College Advantage Benefit via Payroll Deduction
by Nancy Ostrander Sept. 1, 2016

Sept. 1, 2016

Hello Everyone, Hope the summer has treated you well! I have an easy question for you all this morning. We have had a baby boom here at Erie County and we are in the process of trying to persuade our Auditor's office that offering the College Advantage 529 College Savings Plan via payroll deduction would be a good thing. Just curious as to how many of you offer this benefit, and is it available through payroll deduction. Thanks - and here comes September ready or not. Nancy Nancy A.

Here's the response from the Auditor's Payroll Supervisor: We use to have as payroll deduction until November 2013, when they stopped the payroll deduction process. Employees must now work directly with College Advantage (OTTA) for membership.

We have not settled with current employees and it would be unlikely that we'd take this action.

Jonette: We receive documentation from a department stating when the FMLA is exhausted, or when the employee becomes inactive on payroll. At that time, we send out a COBRA notice to the employee.
