Coverage by County Spouse Sample Clauses
The "Coverage by County Spouse" clause defines the conditions under which a spouse of a county employee is eligible for certain benefits or insurance coverage provided by the county. Typically, this clause outlines the eligibility criteria, such as legal marriage status and residency requirements, and may specify the types of coverage available, like health or dental insurance. Its core practical function is to clarify who qualifies as a dependent for coverage purposes, thereby ensuring that benefits are allocated appropriately and reducing ambiguity regarding eligibility.
Coverage by County Spouse. An eligible County employee married to another eligible County employee and who submits satisfactory “proof of health insurance” coverage may elect health insurance coverage as a dependent under the spouse's primary plan. In such a case, the employee covered as a dependent will have the “employee only” County contribution amount available to apply toward the employee's Flexible Benefits Plan during the employee's active employment.

Employees who submit satisfactory “Proof of Health Insurance Coverage” may elect not to be covered by the County’s health insurance plans. This election may only be made during the County’s open enrollment period or during the year as the result of a qualifying “change in status” as defined by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. For employees waiving primary participation in a County-sponsored health plan, the County’s contribution will be deposited into the employee’s Flexible Spending Account.
