Any such reimbursement or payment shall be made on or before the 10th day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which any continuation coverage payment was incurred.

Group Health Plans. 18.1 HEALTHCARE BENEFITS PLAN Effective for the term of this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide employees covered by this Agreement the same group medical insurance (to include prescription drug), group dental, group vision, employee life insurance, dependent life insurance, basic long-term disability insurance, supplemental long-term disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, health care flexible spending account and dependent day care flexible spending account, and at the same premiums, as the Company provides for its non- bargaining employees employed by the Company in the exchanges covered by this Agreement. The Company in its sole discretion may provide the coverage and benefits required by this Article through insurance and/or self-funded plans. The Company will make available to employees, upon retirement, the same options for retiree health benefits as are offered to similarly situated non-bargaining employees who retire from the Company. The retiree health benefits will be exclusively governed by the terms of the applicable plan(s). The selection and administration of any plans to provide the coverage and benefits required by this Article shall be within the Company's exclusive control and sole discretion. The Company shall therefore have the unilateral right to make any changes which it deems necessary or desirable, including changes to establish, restore and/or maintain the most favorable qualification or treatment of the plan(s) under federal (or any applicable state) law. The selection of the insurers, carriers, agents and/or plan or claims administrators shall also be in the Company's exclusive control and sole discretion. The Company reserves the right to unilaterally amend, change or terminate any one or more or any combination of these plans or flexible spending accounts or any of their features (including, but not limited to, deductibles, co- payments, maximum out-of-pocket expenses, etc.), or the premiums charged to employees (annually or as otherwise deemed necessary) for any plan(s). However, the Company may do so only so long as the amendments, changes and/or terminations apply equally to all eligible employees, both bargaining unit and non-bargaining unit employees, of the Company. The Company will provide the Union with sixty (60) days advance notice of any changes to the various plans. At the request of the Union, the parties will meet to discuss but not negotiate such changes. During the term of this Agreement...

If, during this 12-month period, you become employed by a third party and eligible for any health care or life insurance coverage provided by that third party or otherwise cease to be eligible for continuation coverage, the Company will not, thereafter, be obligated to continue to pay this amount. You will be responsible for the full cost of any health care or life insurance coverage if your COBRA continuation period exceeds 12 months.
