The school is still paying the same share of the premiums over the summer as they do the rest of the year. Did you really think you were paying the full premium over the summer? [b]Or that they were taking the full premiums for the summer out of your paychecks during the school year?[/b][/quote]

In my school district, yes, that's how we are paid.

I earn a salary of $83,320/year. I'm paid for 22 pay periods. My yearly health care insurance premiums, long term disability, pension contributions, etc are divided up for the year by 22 and the amount is paid from that paycheck. The school district's share of our premiums and contribution to our pensions comes during those 22 pay periods, as well.

From each paycheck about 1/6 of my gross pay (actually 18%) is withheld (after taxes).  They keep that for teachers in a "Summer Pay" fund.  We get 4 paychecks in the summer from that fund. But all our premiums are paid from the 22 salary paychecks. Not from the 4 summer fund paychecks.[/quote]
