Common use of Retired Members’ Dental Insurance Benefits Clause in Contracts

Retired Members’ Dental Insurance Benefits. The City agrees to provide dental benefits (individual and/or family) to retired members of the Department, prospectively from the date of the Arbitration Award, that are equivalent to Blue Cross Dental Level Two. In the event, however, a retired member of the Department has identical dental coverage paid for by his/her employer, or is a named insured under a spouse's dental plan which is identical to that awarded here; then, that retired member shall not be entitled to the dental benefits as awarded herein. The cost for this dental plan shall be borne solely by the City. Effective 7-1-87 members who were eligible for dental coverage up to level II will be able to purchase at their expense (to be deducted from pension check) coverage to level IV (i.e., both level III and Level IV together).
