An eligible employee may request cancellation of the employee's City paid medical and/or dental
insurance coverage. Once the employee provides adequate proof that he/she has medical and/or
dental coverage from another source, it will be processed under the terms and conditions and
cancellation requirements of their particular plan. The City will process the cancellation,
effective the first day of the month following the effective date of cancellation.
The cash back is based on what the employee's coverage level would have normally been (i.e.,
employee, employee + one dependent, employee + family) at the time of such cancellation.
However, if the employee's current health premium amount is less than the medical premium
amount listed below, the City will use the lower rate to calculate the cash back amount. The cash
back amount is paid once a month and is included in the employee's paycheck. The following
are the rates used to determine medical cash back:

dependents
If the employee declines dental coverage, the City will pay a cash back amount equal to 50% of
the City's fixed monthly rate for the dental program.
Upon declining medical and/or dental insurance, the employee will be required to meet the terms
and conditions regarding the City's medical and/or dental plan. If an employee decides to stop
receiving the medical/dental cash back and wishes to re-enroll into the City's medical and/or
dental plan, then he/she must meet the current terms and conditions of the City's medical and/or
dental plan. The City cannot guarantee that once the employee leaves a particular medical and/or
dental plan., he/she may be able to re-enroll in their prior plan and under the same terms and
conditions of their prior plan.
