Common use of No Double Coverage Clause in Contracts

No Double Coverage. It is expressly understood that the Township’s obligation to provide health, dental and optical insurance to a bargaining unit member and to their spouse and/or dependents under this agreement may be satisfied through coverage extended to another Township employee inside or outside this bargaining unit. A bargaining unit employee, their spouse or dependents are not eligible for double or any additional coverage under Township sponsored medical, dental or optical medical plans, unless otherwise specifically ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such court order cannot be stipulated or contained within a divorce decree. However, if a bargaining unit member receives medical, dental or optical coverage from another employee either inside or outside of the bargaining unit, either from the Township or another employer, then the bargaining unit employee shall be eligible to receive the Opt Out payment as stated above. Employees are responsible to timely file all required paperwork and/or forms for open enrollment. If such forms are not timely filed, employee and/or family members may lose health insurance coverage until next enrollment date with the filing of said paperwork.
