If the Executive and his eligible dependents are unable to continue participation in the Company’s health plan for at least 12 months after termination, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the amount of premiums paid by the Executive to continue coverage for the Executive and his eligible dependents under COBRA or any similar State law for the period that such continuation coverage is required.

If and when group health coverage under another group health plan first becomes available thereafter to Executive, Executive’s spouse, or Executive’s dependents (as applicable), the Company’s obligations under this paragraph will cease with respect to each person to whom such coverage becomes available, and such person shall have such “COBRA” benefit continuation rights as may then be available under relevant law, treating Executive’s employment termination date as the date of such person’s “qualifying event.”

Continuation of Medical Benefits. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment described in Section 7(a), (b) or (c), the Company shall pay Executive’s COBRA health benefits premium for an eighteen (18) month period following such termination. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Section 7(e), or in-kind benefits provided, during Executive’s taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year of Executive. Any reimbursement of an expense described in this Section 7(e) shall be made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following Executive’s taxable year in which the expense was incurred. Executive’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. The benefits listed in this Section 7(e) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by Executive, his spouse or any eligible dependent from any other person during such period, and provided, further, that Executive shall have the obligation to use any medical insurance provided by a new employer, if available, during such eighteen (18) month period, and to notify the Company that he or they are receiving such benefits.
Continuation of Medical Benefits. The foregoing medical benefits program shall be continued for any eligible employee who pays the employee's portion during any period when such employee is on the active working payroll, compensated sick leave, compensated leave of absence, family and medical leave of absence, medical or assault leave of absence due to a work connected illness or injury received in the course of and arising out of the employee's employment by the BOARD for which the employee receives Workers' Compensation, non-compensated approved leave of absence of less than thirty (30) days, medical leave of absence, including medical leave of absence due to pregnancy during the month such absence commences and for the next month, or for employees working only during the regular school year and not working during the summer break period, until such employees either resign their employment status or fail to return to active working status at the commencement of the next school year. Employees on non-compensated approved leave of absence (including medical leave of absence, or maternity leave of absence) in excess of the period set forth above for which the BOARD has agreed to pay a portion of the cost of this medical benefits program, or employees on lay-off under a suspended contract who desire to continue the full medical insurance package coverage past the period for which the BOARD has agreed to pay any portion of the premium to continue coverage for the employee, may do so while unemployed for up to two (2) years following the date such employee leaves the active working payroll of the BOARD by paying the full 100% premium for such insurance to the Treasurer of the BOARD on or before the seventeenth (17th) day of the month prior to any month such coverage is desired to be continued. In the event all or part of any monthly premium due from an employee is not paid and/or coverage is discontinued for any period, the employee shall have the right to acquire insurance through the insurance carrier in accordance with its policies and coverage cannot be reacquired through the BOARD until the employee returns to active working status. It is understood that the BOARD assumes no responsibility for any cancellation of insurance coverage.
