Health & Dental in Lieu Plans The City of San Jose offers Health and Dental In-Lieu plans which offer employees with alternative health and/or dental insurance the option of forgoing coverage under the City's plans. In lieu of deductions for the City's coverage, employees may opt for a taxable in-lieu cash payment on a biweekly basis. This benefit constitutes no risk to the participant since employees can return to the City's health and/or dental plan coverage in the event that they do lose their alternative coverage. Back to top
