SEBAC also heard reports on the Tax Saver Plan implemented Jan. 1. The Tax Saver Plan is being imple mented in two phases. Phase one allows employees to pay their insurance premiums on a be fore-tax basis, instead of an after-tax basis, said Steve Hassel, associate di rector for the systems office of em ployee benefits. Phase two deals with spending ac counts and will be implemented Sept. 1, Hassel said. A spending account allows em ployees the opportunity to select the amount of money taken out of their paychecks each pay period for un reimbursed health expenses and de pendent daycare. This is also done oh a before-tax basis. Proposals have been sent out for bids in two phases. Phase one is a general services administration which is like a claims processing sys tem. A claims processing system is simi lar to what an insurance company does when it reimburses its clients. The other phase is a communica tions phase. This plan will aid in let ting employees know how the system works. Proposals will be received through next Friday. The decision on tne new insurance carrier should be made by the end of March, and then participating employees will be noti fied of the details, Hassel said. The group also heard proposals about the status of bids from insur ance carriers. Larry Wilson, director of the sys tems office of employee benefits, said they are trying to narrow the number of insurance carriers to a smaller number. “We hope to narrow the field to a more manageable number, perhaps six or seven companies,” he said. The goal of the committee is to have the new rates for the faculty and staff before summer. Wilson said there will be new rates, but they will not automatically go up. “Since we are in an inflationary time, they will probably go up, but we do not know how much,” he said. “We will be able to announce those new rates by the first part of May, before the faculty leaves for the summer,” Wilson said. Wilson also said the annual enroll ment period will be June 6 throi gh July 15. During this time faculty and staff will be able to review and change their plans if they wish.

Th peopl Texas seat belt usage drops By Lisabeth Rabun Reporter A recent project conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute showed that seat belt use in Texas has declined each year since the mandatory shoulder restraint law went into effect in 1985, project di rector Katy Womack said. “The survey recorded obser vations of 3,000 vehicles at 12 differ ent intexsections in each of the 18 cities studied throughout the state over a one-week period of time,” Womack said. Annual reports show that before the law went into effect in December 1985, the seat belt usage rate in Texas was 15 percent. In 1986, the rate increased to 66 percent. The following year the rate decreased to 58.6 percent and the 1988 report showed a 55.7 percent rate of usage. “It’s hard to tell if it will continue to decline or if it will level out,” Wo mack said, “but a decrease was ex pected the first year after the law passed.” The decline is similar to what other states have experienced after passing seat belt laws, but comparati vely, Texas remains above average, she said. A report from the National High way Traffic Safety Administration confirms the average use in the other states to he 45 percent, Wo mack said.
