TO: State Agency Benefits Administrators
FROM: Employee Benefits Division
SUBJECT: IPP Annual Update
DATE: March 1, 2001

Each year, we ask you to review and confirm the status of employees enrolled in the Income Protection Plan (IPP). To assist you in your review, we are providing you with a list of your agency's employees enrolled in the New York State Income Protection Plan whose applications were received before January 3, 2001. Enrollees who have declined or lost eligibility are not included in the list.

M/C employees whose service began on or after January 1, 1986, and DC-37 employees whose service began on or after October 1, 1987, are mandatory participants. If a mandatory participant does not appear in the list it is because the Employee Benefits Division has not received an application. Benefits cannot be paid until the application has been received and processed.

You should have a copy of an application on file for every M/C or DC-37 employee even if the employee transferred from another agency. The releasing agency should have forwarded the application to you.

Please use the list to delete ineligible employees, correct errors in employee information, and add any eligible employees who have been omitted. When adding an employee, please fill in each column on the list.

Please send a copy of the corrected list to Ms. Nancy Crandell, IPP Unit, at the above address. She will investigate any discrepancies and advise you of the findings.

If you have any questions, please call Ms. Crandell at (518) 457-5763.
