Sec. 892.301  How do I pay my premium?


    As a participant in premium conversion, instead of having your 
premium withheld from after-tax salary, your salary will be reduced 
(through a Federal allotment) by the amount equal to yourFEHB premium, 
which you will allot to your agency. The allotment from salary satisfies 
the FEHB premium payment requirement of 5U.S.C. 8906. Your employer is 
authorized to accept this allotment under Sec. 550.311(a)(8) and 
Sec. 550.312 of this chapter or, for employers not subject to those 
regulations, a similar mechanism.Your agency will use the allotment to 
pay your share of your FEHB premium. This will reduce your taxable 
income as described in Sec. 892.102.
