City of Tulsa employees who have been called to active duty in support of combat operations have the option of continuing their City of Tulsa benefits while serving.
Employees being deployed may now continue their dependant coverage for the period of service by timely payment of the current dependant premium rate instead of 102% of the full premium. Previously, employees could only continue the dependant coverage for a twelve month period, the coverage will now continue for the full period of deployment as long as there is timely payment of the premium. Please call your department's personnel office as shown below.
