Certain enrollees in the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program who are paying premiums through payroll withholding soon will be getting bills from the carrier, LTC Partners, LLC, for premiums that for one reason or another-such as payroll cycle timing issues or entry into non-pay status–the carrier was unable to collect from their pay. Current and future premiums will continue to be deducted from pay and employees will not be both billed directly and have a deduction from pay for premiums covering the same time period, the Office of Personnel Management has said. Employees will continue getting monthly bills for the uncollected premium amounts until they pay off the balance.
