Re: Health Options Program Eligibility Requirements
August 7, 2013
RESOLVED, that the Public School Employees' Retirement Board (the "Board"), pursuant to the recommendations set forth in the Eligibility Review dated May 20, 2013 by the Segal Company, approves the following:
PSERS should develop and maintain a policy detailing eligibility rules and regulations of the Health Options Program. Within this Policy;
PSERS should specify that in regard to Eligible Persons:
The foundation for enrollment in HOP should be the ongoing financial relationship between PSERS and the individual enrolled in HOP
A Survivor Annuitant should be subject to the same requirements as a spouse and dependents while the Annuitant is in pay status.Survivor Annuitant should be required to select the same coverage as family members and premiums must be deducted from the Annuitant s monthly benefit.
At the Annuitant s death, the Survivor Annuitant may enroll in HOP if premiums are deducted from their monthly PSERS annuity payment
PSERS rules should specifically state that a spouse or dependents already participating in HOP may continue HOP coverage upon the death of an Annuitant.
A surviving spouse not participating in HOP at the time of the Annuitant s death should be allowed to enroll in HOP only if he or she becomes a beneficiary receiving a monthly annuity from PSERS. There must be an annuity to trigger eligibility.
PSERS should specify that in regard to Qualifying Events
PSERS should allow continuity of coverage for spouses, Survivor Annuitants and dependents enrolled in HOP upon the death of the Annuitant (member).
PSERS should modify the application of Qualifying Events to specify when they apply to the Annuitant, Survivor Annuitant, spouse and dependents of Annuitants or Survivor Annuitants
PSERS should specify that in regard to Comparable "Mirror" Coverage
The current "mirror coverage"policy be modified to allow a retiree, spouse or dependent who can prove prescription drug coverage in an approved union plan resulting from employment at a participating school district, or in a recognized federal plan such as the VA, or in a military program such as Tri-Care for Life, where the coverage cannot be extended to a spouse, to have different prescription drug coverage under the HOP. Retirees, spouses and dependents in this situation must continue to have the same medical plan election. Only the person(s) with the proven outside prescription drug coverage may be opted out of prescription drug coverage through HOP.
PSERS should specify that in regard to Policies, business rules and regulations
Eligibility appeals for HOP should be reviewed by the Health Care Committee of the board, rather than by the Appeals Committee.
The ESRC should report its decisions on eligibility to the Health Care Committee and justify any determinations that extend eligibility to more groups than described in the eligibility policy
