This is an employee benefits enrollment and administration document for Franklin County outlining voluntary and employer-paid coverage options across multiple benefit categories including short-term disability (STD), long-term disability (LTD), legal plans, and pet insurance. The document establishes the administrative framework and premium collection procedures for 24 Franklin County agencies and their employees, specifying which benefits each agency offers and how premiums are collected and remitted. Coverage is available on both semi-monthly (24 pays) and bi-weekly (26 pays) schedules depending on agency payroll structures. The document identifies enrollment counts totaling 5,319 employees across the county's benefits programs, with 2,862 enrolled in STD coverage, 2,457 in LTD coverage, 1,986 in legal plans, and 80 in pet insurance.

Premium collection and remittance procedures vary by agency and benefit type, with Franklin County handling aggregated premium collection and remittance for most agencies while some agencies remit premiums directly to vendors. Premium collection timing differs by benefit and agency, occurring either one month in arrears, during the current month of coverage, or one month in advance. All employee-paid benefits are designated as employee self-select options with a 60-day grace period for coverage lapses. Agency 7000 offers a unique structure combining employee-paid STD and LTD coverage at hire with employer-paid coverage beginning after 12 months of employment, while Agencies 8200 and 9996 maintain alternative non-county programs. The document serves as an administrative reference establishing which agencies participate in which programs and the specific operational requirements for premium handling and employee enrollment management across Franklin County's benefits portfolio.
