Rates for subsequent <br />years, determined in accordance with this agreement, will be distributed to employees <br />during each Open Enrollment period and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement <br />by reference as though fully set forth herein. <br /> <br />Employees who wish to waive enrollment in the medical and dental plans and who <br />demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City their enrollment in another medical and <br />dental plan will receive opt-out payments as follows, based on the employee’s status <br />and eligibility during the active benefit year, in accordance with Internal Revenue code <br />(IRC) timelines and qualifying events: <br /> <br /> Employee rate: Medical $200 +/or dental $50 = $250/month maximum <br /> Two-party rate: Medical $350 +/or dental $50 = $400/month maximum <br /> Family rate: Medical $500 +/or dental $50 = $550/month maximum <br /> <br />In the event both spouses are employed by the City and eligible to enroll in the City’s <br />flex benefits plan, one employee may elect not to enroll in the medical and dental plans <br />and will receive the single employee opt-out rate of two-hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) <br />per month payment if enrolled under spouse’s coverage. <br /> <br /> Re-enrollment in the medical and/or dental plan shall be allowed only based upon a <br />qualifying event as defined by the IRS codes or during an open enrollment period. <br /> <br /> <br />16.2 Retiree Benefits <br /> <br /> Employees hired after January 1, 2005 must render five years of continuous service <br />with the City of San Leandro to retire with medical and/or dental benefits under this <br />section. <br /> <br /> Medical: Under CalPERS rules, the City will directly contribute the “employer minimum <br />share” towards retiree health coverage.
