Tuition reimbursement amount is now $5,000 for employees in certain bargaining units.
No reporting or tax withholding is required on educational assistance benefits provided to State employees up to the $5,250 limit for the tax year. Benefits that exceed the $5,250 limit are generally taxable, unless they qualify for exclusion as a “working condition fringe benefit.”
Tuition reimbursement is available to M/C employees for educational course work that is categorized as either job-related or career-related and offered by approved schools or organizations.
