Benefits
Georgia provides a large and varied uniform set of health and flexible benefits for eligible state of Georgia employees at competitive premiums. Plus, state employees can save even more when choosing benefits with pre-tax premiums. By electing to pay pre-tax, employees do not have any federal, state, or FICA taxes withheld on the money from their paycheck used to pay for the benefit options. As a result, employees have more take home pay when compared to paying the same premiums with after-tax dollars.
New Employee Election of Benefits:
New employees have 30 days from date of hire to enroll and complete their online benefits election for all programs listed below. Employees transferring in from other state agencies without a break in service are not permitted to make changes upon transfer and must wait until Open Enrollment unless experiencing a qualifying life-changing event.
