The Automatic Payroll Deduction (APD) program offers state employees an opportunity to take advantage of insurance products not offered in the State of Iowa benefit program.
All permanent state employees, regardless of branch of state government, are eligible for these discounts.
The State is able to offer post-tax payroll deductions to pay your insurance premiums directly to the vendor.
In order to have insurance premiums deducted post-tax from state employees through payroll, a vendor must have and maintain the participation of 500 or more state employees.
Employee guidelines
- You may meet with agents at the work place on non-work time to obtain information.
- Any questions or issues that may arise with regard to a chosen policy should be directed to the participating vendor.
- Any resulting coverage you decide to purchase will be based on a contract between you and the participating vendor.
