Voluntary Supplemental Benefit Plans. The only voluntary supplemental benefit plans offered to state employees whether provided through insurance or otherwise will be those selected via a state-administered request for proposal process or pursuant to the Union Benefits Trust. Only those employees enrolled in a voluntary supplemental benefit plan on the effective date of this Agreement that was not selected pursuant to this paragraph may continue to participate in such program. Explanation: This language limits an SEIU/District 1199 bargaining unit employee‟s ability to have payroll deductions for voluntary supplemental benefit plans effective June 1, 2006, for vendors that are not on a state contract or offered through the Benefits Trust. SEIU/District 1199 employees enrolled prior to June 1, 2006 may continue to have payment for these plans processed through state payroll deductions. Further, these employees may modify the benefit level they are currently purchasing with that vendor, but may not add additional products. For example, an employee who has life insurance through a non-eligible vendor who wants to increase coverage or change a dependent after June 1, may do so. He/she may NOT, however, add disability supplemental insurance through that same vendor thereby increasing their current payroll deduction. This language does not prevent an SEIU/District 1199 member from purchasing products from these vendors on their own time outside the workplace; it only precludes the ability to pay for these products via a state payroll deduction.
