21.1 Active Employees — PEMHCA Contribution
The City currently provides health benefits through the California Public Employees'
Retirement System (CalPERS) Health Benefits Program under the Public Employees'
Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). The City's employer contribution for each
employee's health benefits shall be the minimum required by PEMHCA. The City pays this
contribution directly to CalPERS. This amount is established annually by PERS and is the
Resolution No. 2016-034 N.C.S.
8
minimum amount the agency must pay on behalf of the employee for medical insurance.
It is separate and apart from the annual health insurance rates and the additional
contribution noted in Section 26.2.
21.2 Additional Contribution
The amount of the City's additional contribution for current employees and their covered
family members shall be $575.95 for employee only, $1,264.95 for employee plus one, and
$1,678.34 for employee plus two or more. These amounts do not include the City PEMCHA
contribution identified in 26.1. The City's additional contribution shall not exceed these
amounts unless and until a different amount is negotiated by the parties.
21.3 Employee Contribution
Employees shall contribute to his/her Ca1PERS Health Premium in the amounts less the.
City's PEMHCA contribution and less the additional benefit paid by the City.
SECTION 22 — HEALTH BENEFITS — RETIRED EMPLOYEES
22.1 Retired Employees — CalPERS and PEMHCA
The City currently provides health benefits through the California Public Employees'
Retirement System (Ca1PERS) Health Benefits Program under the Public Employees'
Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). In order for a retired employee to be eligible to
receive health benefits through Ca1PERS upon retirement, a retired employee must meet the
following definition of "annuitant" under Ca1PERS law:
(A) Employee must be a member of Ca1PERS; and
(B) Employee must retire within one -hundred -twenty (120) days of separation from
employment with the City of Petaluma and receive a monthly retirement allowance
from Ca1PERS.
22.2 "Unequal Contribution" Method for Health Care Premium Payments for Retirees
The City uses the "unequal contribution" method for health care premium payments for
annuitants (retirees) as permitted under Government Code section 22892. Under this
method, the City is required annually to increase the total monthly annuitant health care
contribution to equal an amount not less than the number of years the City has been in the
PEMHCA program multiplied by five percent (5%) of the current monthly employer
contribution for active employees until the time the City's contribution for annuitants equals
the City's PEMHCA contribution paid for active employees.
By way of explanation, for calendar year 2009, the formula for determining the City's
PEMHCA contribution for retirees is as follows:
15 years in the PEMHCA program x 5% = 75% x $101 (minimum employer contribution for
active employees for 2009) _ $75.75.
16 years in the PEMHCA program x 5% = 80% x $105 (minimum employer contribution for
active employees for 2010) _ $84.00.
Resolution No. 2016-034 N.C.S.
9
For calendar year 2011, the formula for determining the City's PEMHCA contribution for
retirees is as follows: 17 years in the PEMHCA program x 5% = 85% x $108 (minimum
employer contribution for active employees for 2011) _ $91.80
For calendar year 2012, the formula for determining the City's PEMHCA contribution for
retirees is as follows: 18 years in the PEMHCA program x 5% = 90% x $112 (minimum
employer contribution for active employees for 2012) _ $100.80
For calendar year 2013, the formula for determining the City's PEMHCA contribution for
retirees is as follows: 19 years in the PEMHCA program x 5% = 95% x $115 (minimum
employer contribution for active employees for 2013) _ $109.25
Effective calendar year 2014 the "unequal contribution" method for health care premium
payments for annuitants (retirees) will be at the twenty year mark. Thus, the City's
contribution for the PEMHCA program will be at 100% (5% x 20 years). Therefore the
monthly employer contribution for annuitants is the required minimum PEMHCA
contribution.
The City pays this contribution directly to Ca1PERS. The retiree is required to contribute to
the cost of the health benefit coverage. The retiree's monthly contribution shall be the cost of
the monthly health benefit premium less the amount of the City's contribution.
22.3 Ca1PERS Annuitant — PEMHCA Health Benefits
In accordance with the PEMHCA provisions if an employee is a CaIPERS annuitant as
defined in Section 22.1 and receives health benefits under the PEMHCA, the employee is
eligible to receive the City's PEMHCA contribution amount specified in Section 24.5
below, regardless of the number of years of service with the City of Petaluma.
22.4 Less Than 12 Years Of Service — Not Receiving PEMHCA Health Benefits
A retired employee with less than twelve (12) years of service with the City of Petaluma
who is not enrolled in the Ca1PERS health benefit program does not receive any retiree
benefit from the City.
22.5 Less Than 12 years of Service — Receiving PEMHCA Health Benefits
A retired employee with less than twelve (12) years of service with the City of Petaluma who
is a Ca1PERS annuitant as defined in Section 22.1 and enrolled in the Ca1PERS health benefit
program is eligible to receive the City's PEMHCA contribution amount. according to the
