Imputed life insurance refers to the taxable value of employer-provided group-term life insurance coverage exceeds $50,000. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers the cost of this excess coverage non-cash benefit, or "fringe benefit," that must be treated as taxable income to the employee, even thought they don't receive cash. The difference you see in net pay is the "fringe benefit" of Imputed life insurance.
Deductions for insurances (health, life, dental, vision, etc) are only withheld 24 times a year. When there are 3 pay dates in 1 month, the third pay will not have insurance premiums deducted.
