Catskill board adopts payment schedule for retired employees' health insurance
Summary
The Village Board approved Resolution #14 establishing that retirees who stay on the Village's health plan must pay annual premiums monthly by check, with a three-month delinquency trigger and a 15-day cure period before coverage may be canceled; the Clerk will notify enrolled retirees.
The Village of Catskill Board of Trustees adopted a policy on April 22 setting a payment schedule and delinquency rules for retired employees who continue Village-sponsored health insurance.
Resolution #14 of 2026 requires retired employees who elect to maintain health coverage to pay their annual premium on a monthly basis, with payments made by check payable to the Village of Catskill. The resolution establishes that if a retiree becomes three months behind, the Village will issue a reminder and allow a 15-day period to remit payment; failure to cure within 15 days authorizes the Village to cancel coverage for nonpayment. The resolution takes effect immediately upon adoption and directs the Village Clerk to provide copies to currently enrolled retired employees.
The motion passed unanimously. Village Clerk Anna Signoretti certified the resolution in the meeting minutes. The policy outlines administrative procedures but does not change benefit eligibility or specify premium amounts; premiums and cost-sharing levels were not specified at the meeting.
