Medical Waiver Option.
1. Full-time teachers may waive their right to medical insurance for one
(1) full benefit year (September 1 through August 31). Teachers waiving this right will receive a lump sum payment on the first pay period following the completion that benefit year in accordance with the following schedule: Full-time teachers waiving individual coverage $1000 Full-time teacher waiving family coverage $1500
2. In the event of a change in the need for coverage due to a major life event causing the loss of the teacher's alternate source of insurance during the waiver year (death, change in marriage status, loss of job), the teacher may reinstate coverage effective the first day of the following month without having to meet any pre-existing condition requirement provided he/she has filed the proper application card with the office of the Treasurer. Such re-entry into the insurance program will nullify the bargaining unit member from receiving the Health Care Insurance Waiver payment as originally declared.
3. Should a teacher elect to participate in the program, the teacher must complete the waiver of coverage form by August 1 or the first day of employment, whichever comes last of each year. Participation shall require completion of the form each year. A teacher who withdraws from the program may not re-enter again until the following year, except for the conditions established in paragraph two, above.
4. This waiver of coverage option is not available when both spouses are employed by the Rossford Board of Education.

These members shall then receive opt out not to exceed $2,000. This opt out will be granted each year so long as the individual is not reinstated in the Board medical plan.
