Coverage Waiver. Employees will be allowed to waive health coverage in the District’s health plan upon sufficient proof that the employee has obtained group health coverage through another source (e.g. spouse). The Human Resources department shall determine the basis for sufficient documentation of group coverage from another source. The District retains the right to re-examine waiver of health coverage on a year-to-year basis.
Coverage Waiver a. The City and the Association agree to a plan to generate cost savings for health insurance premiums in cases where employees are eligible for coverage under an alternate health insurance plan. Employees may waive a level of insurance coverage for themselves and/or their eligible dependents if they are covered under an alternate health insurance plan. If an employee waives insurance coverage at any level, savings result. To recognize the savings, the City and bargaining unit agree to rebate to the employee the amount of $75.00 per month.
b. Proof of alternate health coverage is required by completing the enrollment/waiver form. Employees will be allowed to enroll during open enrollment or other times during the year as allowed by state/federal law.
c. Employees who are married or in a state-registered domestic partner relationship with another City employee will receive one (1) $75.00 rebate. The spouse/domestic partner who is waiving coverage will receive the rebate. If the spouse/domestic partner is a non-sworn police employee and receives $600.00 flex dollars, neither the employee nor their spouse/domestic partner is eligible for the $75.00 rebate.
d. Employees will make contributions to health insurance coverage based on the insurance carrier selected.

For employees who choose to waive health insurance, the University will pay the lesser of the annual cost of individual health coverage or three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500) for each full year waived and payable on the employee’s bargaining unit position anniversary date.
Coverage Waiver. If full-time MBU has health insurance coverage through another source, the MBU may notify the University, in writing, and elect to waive the University’s health coverage.

Coverage Waiver. A. If the PSO has health insurance coverage through another source, the PSO, in writing, may inform the University and elect not to receive the applicable coverage provided for above. If such election is made, the University will not provide such coverage. For those PSOs who choose to waive the health family insurance, the PSO shall receive $3500 for each full benefit year of waiver (individual coverage waivers shall be one thousand three hundred dollars ($1,300) for each full benefit year of waiver), payable in prorated bi-weekly installments for the period of waiver.
B. PSOs may choose to waive dental insurance coverage alone, in which case, there will be no charge to the PSO for their relinquished coverage.
Coverage Waiver.
