Premium Continuation. If full-time Teaching Assistants are removed from the payroll due to an extended illness/disability and have used all of their accrued sick leave, the first three (3) months of premiums for hospital and medical benefits shall be paid by the District. Said Teaching Assistants shall be obligated to promptly apply to the appropriate New York State authorities for a waiver of the payment of medical coverage premiums. Failure to apply shall cause the District’s obligation to pay any premium under this section to cease, as of the end of the third month of absence. If a waiver of premium is granted, there shall be no obligation on the part of the District to fund premium payments. However, if the Teaching Assistant’s application is not approved, the District shall pay the medical coverage premiums for six (6) months (beginning with the first month of absence or beginning of the new year (September 1) whichever is longer). The District’s obligation under this clause shall be to finance premiums only, in accordance with this provision. The undertaking in this section shall not extend in any way to the payment of health benefits or to any other obligation. In no event, shall a Teaching Assistant receive any payment under this clause unless the Teaching Assistant is unable to work by reason of disability/illness, and has submitted a physician’s certificate attesting to the disability/illness. The District has the right to verify said disability/illness by requiring a physician designated by the District to perform a physical examination. Failure to agree to such a request shall nullify any obligation created by this section.
