ELIGIBILITY and COVERAGE The following ETFO represented employees are eligible to receive benefits through this Trust:
Eligibility and Allocation The allocations outlined in paragraphs b) and c) above, will be provided on the first day of each school year, subject to the restrictions outlined in d)i-vi below. i. A Teacher is eligible for the full allocation of sick leave and STLDP regardless of start date of employment or date of return to work from any leave other than sick leave, WSIB or LTD. ii. All allocations of sick leave and STLDP shall be pro-rated based on FTE at the start of the school year. Any changes in FTE during a school year shall result in an adjustment to allocations. iii. Where a Teacher is accessing sick leave, STLDP, WSIB or LTD in a school year and the absence due to the same illness or injury continues into the following school year, the Teacher will continue to access any unused sick leave days or STLDP days from the previous school year’s allocation. Access to the new allocation provided as per paragraphs b) and c) for a recurrence of the same illness or injury will not be provided to the Teacher until the Teacher has completed eleven (11) consecutive working days at their full FTE without absence due to illness. iv. Where a Teacher is accessing STLDP, WSIB, or LTD in the current school year as a result of an absence due to the same illness or injury that continued from the previous school year and has returned to work at less than their FTE, the Teacher will continue to access any unused sick leave days or STLDP days from the previous school year’s allocation. In the event that the Teacher exhausts their STLDP allotment and continues to work part-time their salary will be reduced accordingly and a new prorated sick leave and STLDP allocation will be provided. Any absences during the working portion of the day will not result in a loss of salary or further reduction in the previous year’s sick leave allocation, but will instead be deducted from the new allocation once provided. v. A partial sick leave day or short-term disability day will be deducted for an absence of a partial day. vi. Where a permanent Teacher is not receiving benefits from another source and is working less than their full FTE in the course of a graduated return to work as the Teacher recovers from an illness or injury, the Teacher may use any unused sick/short-term disability allocation remaining, if any, for the Teacher’s FTE that the Teacher is unable to work due to illness or injury.
Eligibility and Enrollment 2.3.1 The State of Georgia has the sole authority for determining eligibility for the Medicaid program and whether Medicaid beneficiaries are eligible for Enrollment in GF. DCH or its Agent will determine eligibility for PeachCare for Kids™ and will collect applicable premiums. DCH or its agent will continue responsibility for the electronic eligibility verification system (EVS). 2.3.2 DCH or its Agent will review the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) file daily and send written notification and information within two (2) Business Days to all Members who are determined eligible for GF. A Member shall have thirty (30) Calendar Days to select a CMO plan and a PCP. Each Family Head of Household shall have thirty (30) Calendar Days to select one (1) CMO plan for the entire Family and PCP for each member. DCH or its Agent will issue a monthly notice of all Enrollments to the CMO plan. 2.3.3 If the Member does not choose a CMO plan within thirty (30) Calendar Days of being deemed eligible for GF, DCH or its Agent will Auto-Assign the individual to a CMO plan using the following algorithm: · If an immediate family member(s) of the Member is already enrolled in one CMO plan, the Member will be Auto-Assigned to that plan; · If there are no immediate family members already enrolled and the Member has a Historical Provider Relationship with a Provider, the Member will be Auto-Assigned to the CMO plan where the Provider is contracted; · If the Member does not have a Historical Provider Relationship with a Provider in any CMO plan, or the Provider contracts with all plans, the Member will be Auto-Assigned based on an algorithm determined by DCH that may include quality, cost, or other measures. 2.3.4 Enrollment, whether chosen or Auto-Assigned, will be effective at 12:01 a.m. on the first (1st) Calendar Day of the month following the Member selection or Auto-Assignment, for those Members assigned on or between the first (1st) and twenty-fourth (24th) Calendar Day of the month. For those Members assigned on or between the twenty-fifth (25th) and thirty-first (31st) Calendar Day of the month, Enrollment will be effective at 12:01 a.m. on the first (1st) Calendar Day of the second (2nd) month after assignment. 2.3.5 In the future, at a date to be determined by DCH, DCH or its Agent may include quality measures in the Auto-Assignment algorithm. Members will be Auto-Assigned to those plans that have higher scores based on quality, cost, or other measures to be defined by DCH. This factor will be applied after determining that there are no Historical Provider Relationships. 2.3.6 In any Service Region, DCH may, at its discretion, set a threshold percentage for the enrollment of members in a single plan and change this threshold percentage at its discretion. Members will not be Auto-Assigned to a CMO plan that exceeds this threshold unless a family member is enrolled in the CMO plan or a Historical Provider Relationship exists with a Provider that does not participate in any other CMO plan in the Service Region. When DCH changes the threshold percentage in any Service Region, DCH will provide the CMOs in the Service Region with a minimum of fourteen (14) days advance notice in writing. 2.3.7 DCH or its Agent will have five (5) Business Days to notify Members and the CMO plan of the Auto-Assignment. Notice to the Member will be made in writing and sent via surface mail. Notice to the CMO plan will be made via file transfer. 2.3.8 DCH or its Agent will be responsible for the consecutive Enrollment period and re-Enrollment functions. 2.3.9 Conditioned on continued eligibility, all Members will be enrolled in a CMO plan for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months. This consecutive Enrollment period will commence on the first (1st) day of Enrollment or upon the date the notice is sent, whichever is later. If a Member disenrolls from one CMO plan and enrolls in a different CMO plan, consecutive Enrollment period will begin on the effective date of Enrollment in the second (2nd) CMO plan. 2.3.10 DCH or its Agent will automatically enroll a Member into the CMO plan in which he or she was most recently enrolled if the Member has a temporary loss of eligibility, defined as less than sixty (60) Calendar Days. In this circumstance, the consecutive Enrollment period will continue as though there has been no break in eligibility, keeping the original twelve (12) month period. 2.3.11 DCH or its Agent will notify Members at least once every twelve (12) months, and at least sixty (60) Calendar Days prior to the date upon which the consecutive Enrollment period ends (the annual Enrollment opportunity), that they have the opportunity to switch CMO plans. Members who do not make a choice will be deemed to have chosen to remain with their current CMO plan. 2.3.12 In the event a temporary loss of eligibility has caused the Member to miss the annual Enrollment opportunity, DCH or its Agent will enroll the Member in the CMO plan in which he or she was enrolled prior to the loss of eligibility. The member will receive a new 60-calendar day notification period beginning the first day of the next month. 2.3.13 In accordance with current operations, the State will issue a Medicaid number to a newborn upon notification from the hospital, or other authorized Medicaid provider. 2.3.14 Upon notification from a CMO plan that a Member is an expectant mother, DCH or its Agent shall mail a newborn enrollment packet to the expectant mother. This packet shall include information that the newborn will be Auto-Assigned to the mother’s CMO plan and that she may, if she wants, select a PCP for her newborn prior to the birth by contacting her CMO plan. The mother shall have ninety (90) Calendar Days from the day a Medicaid number was assigned to her newborn to choose a different CMO plan. 2.3.15 DCH may, at its sole discretion, elect to modify this threshold and/or use quality based auto-assignments for reasons it deems necessary and proper.
