Benefits Accounting
Invoicing
MSU Human Resources, Benefits Accounting, generate invoices the first week of the month to:
- Employees who are on an unpaid Leave of Absence (LOA) who wish to continue their active employee benefits
- Members who are eligible and elect COBRA coverage
- Retirees who are eligible and elect to continue their medical, prescription, dental, life and/or accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance
- Surviving Spouses who elect to continue existing benefits
Please note that invoices are billed for coverage one month in advance. For example, if you elect COBRA coverage in February for coverage which began in January, you will receive an invoice in March as follows:
- Past Due Coverage = January & February
- Current Coverage = March
- Future Coverage = April
Your next invoice generated in April will be billed for coverage in May.
Payments
At this time, Benefits Accounting does not have an online bill pay system for invoices generated from MSU HR. Only paper checks can be received. Any electronic fund transfers (EFTs) will be returned to your bank as undeliverable.
Those interested in using MSU Federal Credit Union's "Pay Bills" feature within their online banking system, ComputerLine, can set up automatic bill pay. Please note that MSU will have to be added manually so please enter the following information when proceeding to set-up your payment:
- Biller Name: Michigan State University
- Account Number: Please include your 4 or 5 digit customer number at the top of your Invoice
- Address: 1407 S. Harrison Rd, East Lansing, MI 48823
Submitting a payment using this feature will result in a paper check being issued from your account and mailed to the address above. Please visit their website at https://www.msufcu.org/paybills for more details.
