Common use of Spousal Certification Clause in Contracts

Spousal Certification. If an eligible bargaining unit member's spouse is working or is retired and has healthcare, prescription drug, dental and/or vision insurance available to the member, that spouse is not eligible for such coverage under the District's insurance plan (healthcare, prescription drug, dental and/or vision). Upon the spouse's enrollment in their employer's/retirement system's insurance coverage plan, that coverage will become the primary payor of benefits, and the coverage by the Board will become the secondary payor of benefits provided the covered employee elected family coverage with the Board. Each bargaining unit member shall complete and submit the necessary documentation to the Board annually relating to the working/retired spouse's coverage. Failure of the bargaining unit member to do so shall result in the immediate loss of eligibility for the employee's spouse for healthcare, prescription drug, dental and/or vision.
