SUBJECT: In the Matter of Extending Health Plan Benefits to County Employees
Involuntarily Recalled to 90 Days Active Duty in the Armed Forces
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Auditor-Controller to pay, commencing 30 days from the date of
recall and for up to six months, both the employee and employer costs necessary
to continue existing health plans and life insurance coverage for permanent
employees involuntarily recalled to active duty in the armed forces for 30 or
more days, and
Authorize the County Administrator to extend this health plan subvention by the
County for up to an additional 12 months on an individual review and deter-
mination basis, with all costs to be charged to the employee's department.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors wishes to ensure that families of County employees who
are members of the Armed Forces Reserves involuntarily recalled to 30 or more
days active military duty are given full support in the absence of the employee.
Currently, County pay for recalled reservists will continue for 30 days after
recall in accordance with State law and thereafter require the employee to make
a payment to the County for health plan costs in order to continue uninterrupted
health care coverage of dependents.
This action will assume continuation of health benefits for 'dependents of
employees who are military reservists called to active duty as a result of
Operation Desert Shield.
