HRS §87A-41

Paying premiums for the long-term care plan

This section says how people in the state long-term care plan pay their monthly premiums. If you are an employee in the plan, your pay office must take your premium out of your paycheck or pension and send it to the fund. If that does not happen, you must pay the plan directly. Qualified beneficiaries must always pay the plan directly.
