STA PRESENTATION

HEALTH BENEFITS

HEALTH BENEFITS FOR SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS?

• Affordable Care Act (ACA):
• Law passed in 2010
• Applies to Substitute Teachers who:
• Work an average of 130 hours per month
• “Look Back” method
• Annual Review: November 1st - October 31st

HEALTH BENEFITS FOR SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS

Background Info:

• Outside of ACA, the district does not offer health insurance to SUB/part-time employees scheduled to work less than 4 hrs per day (under 0.50 FTE).
• CalPERS (determines the enrollment eligibility for our medical plans) requirements include the “employee must be appointed to a job lasting at least 6-months and one day and work at least half-time to be eligible to enroll in a CalPERS health plan.”

HEALTH BENEFITS FOR SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS

ACA Eligibility for Benefits Information:

• An Offer of Health Insurance Letter is mailed to qualifying subs, explaining why they are eligible for our health insurance and a deadline for them to respond to enroll in coverage.
• Coverage is effective 1/1/2025 and will continue through 12/31/2025.
• In November, we will review the hours subs worked during the next measurement period of 11/1/2024 – 10/31/2025, to determine their eligibility for our benefit plans for the 2026 calendar year.
