Mandatory Re-enrollment During Open Enrollment. Upon recommendation of the JLMBC the District may designate any open enrollment period as a mandatory enrollment period during which every eligible retiree or survivor must re-enroll for himself or herself and for each of his or her eligible dependents. If a retiree or survivor fails to re-enroll during any such mandatory enrollment period, his or her enrollment in hospital, medical, dental, and vision care plans shall end at the beginning of the next plan year. In that event, a retiree or survivor (and his or her eligible dependents) may, if he/she remains eligible, re-enroll in plans. The retiree or survivor may re-enroll in plans at any time and the District shall verify his or her eligibility to CalPERS so that it can process the retiree’s or survivor’s re- enrollment forms as if they were initial enrollment forms—i.e. if CalPERS, via the District, receives the re-enrollment forms at any time during the calendar month, it shall process them so as to make coverage effective on the first day of the calendar month following receipt of the forms.

Mandatory Re-enrollment During Open Enrollment. Under normal circumstances CalPERS does not require mandatory re-enrollment each year in its health plans. They will notify current participating active employees of their options to change health plans or add/remove dependents during open enrollment. If the employee does not elect any changes, his or her hospital/medical coverage will continue with the same plan and dependents (pending eligibility). If the employee does not elect any changes to the dental, vision and life insurance benefits during open enrollment, coverage will continue with the same plans and dependents.

District Contribution Towards Premiums. Eligible employees shall be entitled to the District's contribution towards the premium costs of the plans in which they and their dependents are enrolled if: the eligible employee was in paid status during the calendar month preceding the month during which benefit coverage is effective and received at least one-half of the pay he or she would have earned had he or she received pay for full-time work; or the eligible employee, even though not in paid status, is on a formal illness leave of absence for a period of not more than eighteen months; or any specific sections of the collective bargaining agreement applicable to the employee (for example, a section specifying compensation during certain leaves) explicitly provides for his or her entitlement to the District's contribution.
