SEHBP Premium Reduction and February Premium Holiday

Because the SEHBP has operated very efficiently and spent less than anticipated in recent years—partly as a result of changes negotiated and advocated for by NJEA—it has built up reserves in excess of what is needed to keep the plan solvent. Those reserves come from the premiums paid by employees and employers. The premium holiday is essentially a way to refund a portion of those premiums and allow employees and employers to share in the benefit of the lower-than-expected costs.
