[§87-23.6] Contributions by an employee-beneficiary or qualified-beneficiary for long-term care benefits plan. (a) During the period the long-term care benefits plan is in effect, the employee-beneficiary shall authorize, if otherwise allowed by law, the employee-beneficiary's contribution to be withheld and transmitted to the fund monthly by the comptroller or finance officer who disburses the employee-beneficiary's compensation, pension, or retirement pay. If, however, an employee-beneficiary's monthly contribution to the fund is not withheld and transmitted to the fund, the employee-beneficiary shall pay the monthly contribution directly to the board's designated carrier or third-party administrator by the first day of each month.

(b) Qualified-beneficiaries shall pay monthly contributions directly to the board's designated carrier or third-party administrator by the first day of each month. [L 1991, c 331, pt of §1]
