Reminder for Annual Health Allowance: effective July 1, 2017, your healthcare allowance is being applied on an annual basis, to comply with San Diego Municipal Code requirements. This means that SDCERS will no longer divide your annual allowance into 12 payments; rather your entire annual allowance will be available to you each July 1, as explained in the 2017 Open Enrollment materials on pages 9 and 12.
