Common use of Length of Coverage Clause in Contracts

Length of Coverage. A teacher is eligible for the District's contribution as long as the teacher is employed by the school. Upon voluntary separation, or dismissal from employment, all District contributions shall cease (District contributions shall continue through June 30 for all teachers completing the school term). It is understood that the District's only obligation is to pay such amounts as agreed to herein and no claim shall be made against the District as a result of a denial of insurance benefits by an insurance carrier. A teacher has the option to pay the COBRA insurance amount for July and August if he/she is subject to a Reduction in Force (RIF) and his/her contract is not renewed by the date the monthly insurance premiums are due. If said teacher is issued a contract for the ensuing school year, the District shall reimburse the teacher for the District’s portion of the health insurance premiums paid prior to contract reinstatement if said teacher remained on the District’s health insurance plan during the RIF period. If the teacher chooses not to remain on the District’s health insurance plan during the RIF period, the District has no obligation to pay for said teacher’s premiums if the teacher returns to service.
