# §892.301. How do I pay my premium?


As a participant in premium conversion, instead of having your premium withheld from after-tax salary, your salary will be reduced (through a Federal allotment) by the amount equal to your FEHB premium, which you will allot to your agency. The allotment from salary satisfies the FEHB premium payment requirement of [5 U.S.C. 8906](/usc/5/8906.md). Your employer is authorized to accept this allotment under [§ 550.311(a)(7)](/cfr/5/550.311.md?p=a-7) and [§ 550.312](/cfr/5/550.312.md) of this chapter or, for employers not subject to those regulations, a similar mechanism. Your agency will use the allotment to pay your share of your FEHB premium. This will reduce your taxable income as described in [§ 892.102](/cfr/5/892.102.md).
