P.O. Box 942715
Sacramento, CA 94229-2715
(888) CalPERS (or 888-225-7377) Circular Letter No: 600-017-17
TTY: (877) 249-7442 Distribution: Special
www.calpers.ca.gov
To: Contracting Agency Health Benefit Officers and Assistant Health Benefit
Officers
Subject: Contracting Agency Minimum Employer Contribution Calculation for 2018
The purpose of this Circular Letter is to inform contracting Public Agencies and Schools of the
new minimum employer health contribution for 2018.
Background
The Minimum Employer Contribution amount is prescribed by Government Code Section 22892
of the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) .
The Minimum Employer Contribution was originally established as a specific dollar value with
specified increases from calendar years 2004 through 2008. As of calendar year 2009, the
calculated adjustments are based upon the medical care component of the Consumer Price
Index-Urban(CPI-U).
California Government Code 22892 of the PEMHCA establishes the contracting agencies'
minimum health premium contribution for their participating active membership. In addition,
this section provides that "commencing January 1, 2009, the employer contribution shall be
adjusted annually by the board to reflect any changes in the medical care component of the
CPI-U and shall be rounded to the nearest dollar."
The table below displays the annual amounts of the Minimum Employer Contribution for active
members.
Minimum Employer Contribution by Calendar Year
Year Index
2014 $119.00
2015 $122.00
2016 $125.00
2017 $128,00
2018 $133.00
California Government Code § 20000, et seq.
Circular Letter No.: 600-017-17
April 12, 2017
Calculation of the Minimum Employer Contribution
Using the 3,8 percent increase in the medical care component of the CPI-U, the minimum
employer contribution for Calendar Year 2018 is $133.00. See calculation below.
($128.00 x 3.8% = $4.86 + $128.00 = $132.86, rounded to $133.00).
Inflation Rate Changes
In January 2017, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics determined the annual percentage change
in the medical care component of the CPI-U for 2016 was 3.8 percent.
The table below provides an inflation comparison of medical care rates.
Medical Care Inflation
Year Index Percent
2012 414.924 3.7
2013 425.134 2.5
2014 435.292 2.4
2015 446.752 2.6
2016 463,675 3.8
Contribution Change Process
Contracting agencies that have designated the PEMHCA Minimum as their monthly employer
health contribution will have their employer billing automatically updated to reflect the new
amount effective January 1, 2018.
Contracting agencies do not need to take action unless they wish to make a change to their
current contribution method. To do so, employers must submit a change resolution. Change
resolutions are effective the first day of the second month following receipt by CalPERS.
Questions
Please call our CalPERS Customer Contact Center at 888 CalPERS (or 888-225-7377) and request
a call back from our Health Contracts Unit to obtain the necessary change resolution template.

Subject: RE; Medical after retirement
The $128 is not a fee, it is the required "minimum employer contribution" for the health coverage benefit that CalPERS
direct bills the City for of the health premium of the retiree - this has always been that way. Therefore, if we pay the
$128 to the retiree, the City is overpaying for the premium reimbursement as we would pay both the retiree and
CalPERS, thus we deduct it from what the retiree is paid, I hope that makes sense.

Jo " Nikki Ausk provided me our most recent version of our medical after retirement agreement (attached), For starters,
the reimbursement amount doesn't match, The agreement shows $310 yet you state it's $354.69 for single. Are you
sure you're looking at Unit IV? And I don't see in our agreement about deducting any CalPERS charges, Can you provide
documentation for this?

Retirees on Unit IV are receiving a cap amount of $354,69 for medical after retirement, However, there is a $128 fee
that CalPERS charges the City and in return we deduct this $128 fee from their monthly cap reimbursement.
