DEP may identify a dental benefit relating to domestic-partner coverage. Premium deductions and any taxable benefit value are different entries. Relationship and tax-dependent rules matter.
Employer-specific label: this is a possible interpretation. Confirm the full meaning in the codebook for the employer that issued your statement.
How to read this entry
Use the possible interpretation Dental cover for a domestic partner alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
A $10 partner premium and a separately reported benefit value can both relate to the same cover. Adding both as cash deductions can give the wrong net-pay calculation.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
What to check with payroll
Ask payroll to separate employee premiums, employer cost and taxable imputed income.
