Health Plan Bonus Waiver Program. Beginning January 1, 2000, with proof of alternative medical coverage, an employee may opt to waive County provided medical coverage:
1. Effective with each new plan year starting January 1, an employee who waives medical coverage for self and family must do so for the entire plan year by signing up in a special open period in the prior November. The employee shall then receive a bonus of sixty-five dollars ($65.00) gross payment per pay period (subject to the usual payroll deductions) commencing the first pay period of the pay year and through the end of the pay year.
2. A part-time employee who waives medical coverage will receive a pro-rated bonus payment according to the code status. At the end of a plan year, a part- time employee may submit a request for supplemental bonus payment to ESA- Benefits Division for adjustments due to additional hours worked beyond code status.
3. A new hire employee may waive medical coverage at the time of new employment and receive a pro-rated bonus of sixty-five dollars ($65.00) gross payment per period starting with the first full pay period.
4. During the plan year, an employee participating in this Program is eligible to re- enroll for coverage within thirty (30) calendar days of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) defined qualifying event. An employee who re-enrolls shall no longer be eligible to receive the bonus waiver payment effective with the date of coverage.
5. Retirement is not an IRS defined qualifying event. If an employee who is enrolled in the Health Plan Bonus Waiver Program retires during the plan year, the retiree is not eligible to enroll in retiree medical coverage upon retirement until the next open enrollment period after retirement, typically in September.
