GIP Enrollment Requirements

It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that an employee’s enrollment form is completed and submitted to the FBP Administrator at least 30 days prior to the eligible date – which is three months after start of employment. Income reported on enrollment will include salary and allowances (car, clergy residence deduction, etc) but does not include overtime or bonus.

All employees are eligible provided they are working 20 hours per week or more and have completed three (3) months of continuous service.  An employee is defined as a person earning at least $2,000 per month.

Employees that are paid less than $2,000, including benefits, may choose to participate on a voluntary basis, on agreement by pastor and church council.

*If your employee applies for the GIP after 3 months they are classified “Late Applicant” and have different requirements.

**Please contact the FBP Administrator if your employee lands outside of these requirements (i.e. works less than 20hrs/week or earns less than $2,000/month)
