| The City Charter establishes an employer contribution to the Health Service Trust Fund that covers health and dental insurance costs for current employees and their dependents. Each year, the health benefit rates are reviewed and determined by the San Francisco Health Service Board and calculated by the Controller’s Office. Health service premiums for employees are estimated to increase on average by 6.3% in FY 2010-2011 and 9% in FY 2011-2012. For dependent care coverage, the Controller’s Office has changed the methodology it calculates the rates to distinguish between employees with one dependent and those with two or more dependents. This change has resulted in moderate savings for dependent care cost. | ||||||||

In FY 2011-2012, the rate is projected to increase from 0.25% to 0.30%. These amounts are calculated by the Controller's Office. | ||||||||
