Withdrawal from Health Care Coverage Sample Clauses

Withdrawal from Health Care Coverage. Effective July 1 immediately following the approval of the 2012-2016 Agreement and each July 1 thereafter, bargaining unit members who are eligible for medical, prescription drug and dental insurance benefits through the City may voluntarily elect, subject to Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, to waive their City-provided medical, prescription drug and dental insurance coverage for a minimum of one (1) year, except as provided below. A bargaining unit member who opts not to accept medical, prescription drug and dental insurance through one of the City’s medical and dental insurance plans, in lieu thereof, shall be paid an annual amount of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) at the end of that fiscal year, provided the bargaining unit member timely notifies the Benefits Administration Office before the close of the annual open enrollment period. In order to be eligible for this annual payment, the bargaining unit member shall be required to sign a waiver of insurance and must provide evidence of alternate coverage under another group health benefit program. This waiver, including the evidence of alternate coverage, must be renewed each year during the annual open enrollment period. Payment for the waiver will be paid only upon the completion of the entire plan year, payable in July of the new fiscal year. Any bargaining unit member who subsequently becomes ineligible under some alternate medical insurance coverage during the one (1) year period due to an eligible qualifying event shall be entitled to re-enroll under the City’s medical, prescription drug and dental insurance provisions provided that the bargaining unit member provides the City’s Benefits Administrator with proof of the eligible qualifying event. No proof of insurability shall be required. If a bargaining unit member re-enrolls in one (1) of the City’s medical insurance plans before the expiration of the one (1) year period, he or she shall receive a pro- rated amount for any full month that he or she has not received medical insurance from the City, provided, however, that a minimum of six (6) full months of non-participation in the City’s medical insurance is required.

Withdrawal from Health Care Coverage. Effective July 1, 2012, an employee who withdraws from or waives health insurance coverage or their health maintenance organization equivalent for an entire fiscal year will be paid Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) at the end of that fiscal year. Employees may enter or leave the plan at any time provided they must have not participated for an entire fiscal year to be eligible for the preceding payment and may be subject to proof of insurability on re-entry if required by the insurance carrier. Such payment will be subject to income tax deductions, but not to pension or any other payroll deductions unless specifically authorized by the employee or such deduction is required by operation of law. Such payment will not be considered wages or earnings in the determination of pension benefits. An employee does not qualify for the payment of the voluntary waiver where the employee declines City provided health insurance coverage because the employee’s spouse is employed by the City or Board of Education and the employee still remains insured by either the City or Hartford Board of Education through the spouse. If an employee’s spouse is also employed by the City or Hartford Board of Education, the employee shall have the choice of enrolling the employee, the spouse and any dependents in the City’s or Hartford Board of Education’s health insurance through either the employee or the spouse, but in no event shall the employee, the spouse or any dependents receive double health insurance through both the City and/or Hartford Board of Education.
