Best rating of B+ or greater, or the equivalent, all the necessary and appropriate insurance that a prudent person in the business of the HSP would maintain including, but not limited to, the following at its own expense.
Group Insurance 38.01 The Group Insurance Plan presently in effect shall remain in effect during the term of this Agreement.
Term Life Insurance The Employer will maintain and make available to full-time and part-time employees, the current term life insurance plan as set forth in the document "Summary of Health Benefits, Maryland State Employees."
Additional Life Insurance All eligible employees shall be permitted to purchase term life insurance in addition to the amount provided by the Board in paragraph C. of this Article.
Retiree Insurance Retired employees and their dependents shall be entitled to continued coverage under the district sponsored group health insurance program, provided the retired employee makes written application with the clerk of the board of education for such continued coverage within thirty (30) days following the retirement of the employee. Retired employees electing continued coverage shall be required to make the monthly premium payment for such continued coverage in advance of the due date of the premium to the carrier. The premium amount will be determined by the carrier. Such payment shall be made to the Board of Education or directly to the insurance carrier, as may be determined by the board. The coverage under the group health-care benefits will cease at such time as (1) the retired employee attains eligibility for Medicare, (2) the retired employee fails to make the required premium payments on a timely basis, or (3) the retired employee becomes covered or is eligible to be covered under a group plan of another employer. For purposes of this provision, retired means those employees who have terminated employment and are receiving a retirement or disability benefit from K.P.E.R.S.
