Health and Welfare Trust. 1. The District shall contribute to the School District No. 1 Health and Welfare Trust as provided in this Section. The District’s contribution will be based on the amount necessary to maintain health insurance benefits that are substantially similar to those provided in 2017 for full-time eligible bargaining unit members, their eligible dependents, spouses and domestic partners, minus the employee premium cost share set for the 2018 benefit year, by tier, so long as the super-composite rate per full-time employee does not exceed $1,355 per month. The super composite rate will be calculated on health, dental, vision, life, and long-term disability insurance benefits for each full-time eligible employee. The employee’s premium cost share contribution shall be made through a “lump-sum” deduction from their paycheck. Should the appropriate tax codes allow, said deduction shall be made on a pre-tax basis upon proper authorization from the employee. Should the District’s payroll system allow, said deduction shall be made on the employee’s first (1st) paycheck of the month for which the contribution is made. 2. District contributions shall be for the cost of each insurance for participants in any of such plans, including eligible dependents of employees; provided that medical/hospitalization insurance shall be considered first priority and dental insurance shall be second priority. Before such payment is required with respect to an employee, the Trustees shall certify to the District that the employee has such medical/hospitalization coverage (1) through the Trust, or (2) from other coverage which is substantially equal to or greater than that provided by the Trust. The District will not offer a similar plan or other medical/hospitalization insurance coverage to employees, and will not provide cash payments thereto in lieu of its contribution to the Trust. 3. If, during the life of this Agreement, a federal or state health insurance program covering all members of the bargaining unit becomes mandatory and effective, the parties agree to meet and discuss the effect thereof upon the District contribution to the Health and Welfare Trust.
