Board approves employee health reimbursement plan effective Oct. 1
Summary
The Harrison County Board of Education approved a health reimbursement plan to help offset employee out-of-pocket medical costs, with an October 1 effective date and American Fidelity named as third-party administrator; annual assistance amounts will be determined during budgeting.
The Harrison County Board of Education voted June 3 to approve a health reimbursement plan to provide assistance to employees for out-of-pocket health-care expenses, with an effective date of Oct. 1 and American Fidelity named as the third-party administrator.
Board members discussed effective dates and staff recommended an Oct. 1 start; the motion to adopt the plan with an Oct. 1 effective date was made and seconded and the board recorded "aye" with no opposition reported. The meeting materials stated the annual assistance amount will be determined during the district’s budgeting process.
During discussion, a board member asked whether the plan could be implemented at other enrollment points; staff replied the recommended Oct. 1 date was preferred. No detailed dollar amount for annual assistance was announced on the record.
The board’s action was limited to approving the plan design and effective date; implementation steps, eligibility rules and annual funding levels were left to staff and the budgeting process. American Fidelity was identified in the packet as the non-paid third-party administrator for plan operations.
