Select Board renews health insurance opt-out reimbursement policy
Summary
The Select Board approved renewal of the town's health insurance opt-out reimbursement policy, which the town promotes to staff and school employees to reduce health plan costs when spouses cover family members.
The Select Board renewed the town's health insurance opt-out reimbursement policy by motion and recorded a unanimous vote to approve the renewal. Town staff said the policy has been publicized to town and school employees and that the town has seen participation in prior years. The board discussed increasing the reimbursement amount to keep pace with rising health premiums to maintain the program's attractiveness to employees.
Town staff told the board the policy is intended to encourage employees to enroll on a spouse's plan when appropriate to save the town money; staff noted there had been recent inquiries and that the town has worked to notify school employees as well. No changes to the policy wording were recorded at the meeting; the board voted to renew the policy.
