AUTHORIZATION
I have read the Pre-Tax Contribution Program materials and the Opt-out Attestation Form (if applicable), and have made my selection on
Page 1 of this document. I understand that if my coverage is declined or canceled, I may subject myself and/or my dependents to waiting
periods if I decide to enroll at a later date and may forfeit the right to such coverage after leaving State service (vest, retirement, etc.). I
am aware of how to obtain a current Summary of Benefits and Coverage for the NYSHIP option I have selected. I understand that my
failure to provide required proof(s) within 30 days may delay the availability of benefits for me or any dependent for whom I fail to provide
such proof. Any person who makes a material misstatement of fact or conceals any pertinent information shall be guilty of a crime,
conviction of which may lead to substantial monetary penalties and/or imprisonment, as well as an order for reimbursement of claims.
I certify that the information I have supplied is true and correct. I hereby authorize deduction from my salary or retirement
allowance of the amount required, if any, for the coverage indicated above.
