Retiree Medical Benefit. A. The parties agree to reopen this agreement if at any time during the life of the agreement the County either refuses to continue to administer the retiree medical benefit for the Court or prices the retiree medical benefit in such a way as to not be cost effective to continue with the County administered retiree medical insurance. The Court agrees to provide promptly to OCEA information relevant to bargaining unit members that may reasonably impact whether the County will discontinue to provide the retiree medical benefit or price the benefit so that it is not competitive.
B. The parties agree to reopen this agreement if at any time during the life of the agreement the County provides written agreement to implement a revision to or replacement of the current Retiree Medical Benefit. In that event, the parties shall endeavor to revise or replace the current Retiree Medical Benefit within the same or substantially similar terms as the County benefit.

Retiree Medical Benefit.

This $335 shall be the City's contribution toward retiree medical insurance coverage. There is no opt out value for retiree medical. The parties intend that the entitlement to receive a retiree medical benefit of $335 per month is a vested benefit for all employees hired by the City on or before June 30, 2017. The inclusion of this vesting language is to comply with the Supreme Court’s decision in M&G Polymers v. Thacket, 000 X.Xx. 000 (2015), requiring that the intent to vest a benefit be explicitly set forth. Effective June 30, 2017, for all new employees hired and subsequently retired from the City, the City’s medical contribution towards retiree health insurance shall be the CalPERS Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Program (PEMHCA) minimum (as determined by CalPERS on an annual basis), not to exceed the actual cost of the plan selected. (PEMHCA minimum will be $136 in calendar year 2019). While participating in the CalPERS Health Plans during the term of this Agreement, should CalPERS or legislative acts redefine the designated contributions for retirees to include Flexible Benefit Plan contributions, the parties will meet and confer on an alternative method of funding active employee benefits.
