SECTION II - CATEGORIES OF VOLUNTARY DEDUCTIONS PERMITTED BY
THE STATE OF MARYLAND

agent of the Department of Human Resources and it is
within the capacity of the Payroll Center to process the
deduction.

C.  Deferred Compensation

The Maryland State Employees Deferred Compensation
Program is administered by a Board of Trustees and
includes a variety of options, including a Savings

and Life Insurance. Deductions are initiated, changed
or cancelled through the Plan Administrator, currently
the Public Employees Benefit Services Corporation.

available deduction for the Credit Union chartered to
serve its employees, retirees and their dependents.

the State Employees Credit Union.

Retirees
