1619 - GROUP HEALTH PLANS

The Board shall have discretion to establish and maintain group health plans for the benefit of eligible employees. These group health plans may provide certain health benefits to employees as permitted by law.

The Board has elected to provide minimum value health coverage for some or all of its eligible employees. The terms and conditions of the health coverage are set forth in the appropriate plan documents.

Eligible employees may receive compensation in lieu of the District’s medical coverage. Eligible employees who waive the medical coverage will be paid an amount, as determined by the Board, with the understanding that this additional compensation is subject to FICA, Medicare, and Federal and State income tax. 

This benefit will be administered only to the extent permitted by State or Federal tax regulations and if not permitted for any reason, the benefit shall be discontinued. If the benefit is discontinued, the Board may, but is not obligated to, provide some other form of benefit or compensation.
