Upcoming District Attorney Candidate Forum & Debate
September 28: PPOA representatives participated in an event planning meeting with ALADS, the LA Police Protective League (LAPPL), the Association of Deputy District Attorneys (ADDA), Long Beach POA (LBPOA), and the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) to discuss the upcoming forum for candidates running for Los Angeles County District Attorney. An invitation to the October 18th event will be emailed to active PPOA members in the next few days.
Open Enrollment/Premium Rate Increase Reminder
September 29: PPOA sent an email to active members yesterday to remind them about the upcoming increases for medical and dental premiums. New rates negotiated between County representatives and insurance carriers will take effect January 1, 2024. It is important for members to take these increases into consideration as open enrollment begins tomorrow (10/1/23) and ends on 10/31/23.

As many of you have heard, premiums for 2024 are increasing nationwide and Los Angeles County is no exception. In fact, the new 2024 medical plan rates for County employees will be subject to an average increase of 10.4% more than the 2023 rates. According to a letter sent from the LA County CEO to the Board of Supervisors on 9/12/23, insurance carriers have determined that health plan increases "are anticipated to be required to address projected price inflation, technology advances, plan utilization patters, and cost shifting from public to commercial payers."
