Extended Military Benefits Package
City of Tulsa employees who have been called to active duty in
support of combat operations after September 11, 2001, have the
option of continuing their City of Tulsa benefits while
serving.
Employees being deployed may now continue their dependant
coverage for the period of service by timely payment of the current
dependant premium rate instead of 102% of the full premium.
Previously, employees could only continue the dependant coverage
for a twelve month period, the coverage will now continue for the
full period of deployment as long as there is timely payment of the
premium. Please call your department's personnel office as shown
below.
