Franklin Community School Corp board approves updated employee insurance rates after benefits presentation
Summary
The board approved updated insurance-rate sheets after a presentation by Steve Ahaus, who said dental rates stayed the same, one family vision plan rose from about $20.32 to $21.11, and group health premiums increased roughly 9%.
Steve Ahaus, identified in the meeting as the presenter on benefits, reviewed the district's insurance packet during the board meeting and said dental rates were unchanged while vision and health rates saw small adjustments. He told the board most vision plans stayed the same or decreased after February adjustments, but one family vision plan rose from about $20.32 to $21.11.
"The dental rates have not changed," Ahaus said, and he added, "But we had a 9%, increase in health premiums, and that's accounted for in these plans as well." He explained the board decided not to implement midyear increases for employees who experienced rate increases and plans to wait until the next enrollment cycle to consider raising employee contributions for those plans.
After brief discussion, the chair moved to approve the insurance-rate sheets and a board member seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote with no opposition recorded in the transcript. The approved materials cover dental, vision and group health categories and reflect the approximately 9% rise in health premiums; the exact dollar impact on individual employee paychecks will depend on plan selection and will be set at the next enrollment cycle.
