Premium Deductions from Your Monthly Income Benefit

You must draw the Monthly Income Benefit (MIB) under the Program’s long term disability insurance policy. The insurance company will deduct the monthly premiums for your “Disability Retirement” benefits from your MIB, and will forward the premiums to the ORP Plan Administrator each month. The Plan Administrator will remit your premiums to the Group Insurance Commission on your behalf.

Please note: As of March 10, 2008, the office of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education
was renamed the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education. The name change will be integrated into
prior existing website content gradually over the next few months.
