Retired TPS Employee Spouse. An eligible employee, whose spouse is a retired employee of Toledo Public Schools with at least ten years full time service and whose spouse is eligible for STRS or SERS health care benefits, may elect to cover the spouse as primary under Toledo Public Schools and will pay the secondary coverage monthly rate. The retired spouse does not have to enroll in STRS or SERS health coverage. However, should such retired spouse become employed, they are required to enroll in their employer’s single health and prescription plan as primary, if available and eligible, regardless of any monthly payroll deduction that might be required or monetary incentive that might be offered in lieu of coverage. Spouses who accept a different benefit or cash incentive in lieu of coverage through their employer will not be eligible for Toledo Public Schools coverage. Once a spouse is compliant with this language, they shall be eligible for secondary coverage under a Toledo Public Schools plan.
