Summary
NACO representatives told commissioners anticipated plan rates may rise about 4.68% and discussed options, including partial county payment for family coverage; county asked NACO to bring family-plan options to the next meeting.
Representatives from NACO presented open-enrollment material to the Dundy County Commissioners on May 18 and said current plan rates are expected to rise about 4.68% in the coming enrollment period.
Commissioner Tom Richard noted difficulty recruiting applicants for county positions when family insurance is not affordable; NACO representatives said some counties have moved to partial county payment for family coverage and offered to provide plan options with family benefits for the next meeting.
Elaine Menzel of NACO also summarized several state legislative measures (LB 663, LB 468, LB 1219, LB 596, LB 803) and discussed their potential relevance to county operations and benefits administration. The board asked staff to bring plan comparisons for consideration during open enrollment.
