Retirees The Parties and the Crown agree to meet for the purpose of transitioning retirees currently in board-run benefits plans into a segregated plan administered by the OECTA ELHT via an amendment to the Trust Agreement, based on the following: i. Basic plan design is the active member plan design ii. School boards can request alterations to the plan design to meet their specific needs (limited to survivor coverage for health and dental benefits, out of country coverage, hearing aids, physiotherapy, and private duty nursing) subject to the coverage being available by the carrier. It is not the intent of the parties to enhance the benefits coverage of the retirees. For example, life insurance is not to exceed the existing level of coverage. iii. Boards can opt out of the ELHT plan for retirees. It is understood that such opt out is irrevocable. iv. The plan administrator will advise each school board of the per member premium cost on an annual basis. v. Any annual plan deficit shall be captured in the premiums charged to school boards and retirees in the subsequent benefit year. vi. Any terminal deficit is the responsibility of all school boards who had members in the plan, based on a formula that includes the school board’s time in the plan and retiree enrolment. vii. School boards maintain any liability resulting from any issues arising as a result of members being transferred to the ELHT benefits plan for retirees. For clarity, once the transition is completed, the school board is not liable for any subsequent decisions by the Trust. viii. Any school board wanting to move its retirees into a plan administered by the ELHT shall sign a participation agreement. The Parties and the Crown shall meet within 30 days of ratification of central terms to discuss the amendment to the trust as described above and timelines for the transition. If by May 30, 2020 the Parties and the Crown are unable to resolve all disputes concerning the amendment to the Trust Agreement and the standard form participation agreement, the Parties and the Crown (as participant) agree to refer the matter to arbitration with a mutually agreed upon arbitrator. The arbitrator shall determine any outstanding disputes based on the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding. The Parties agree that any arbitration on outstanding disputes shall be scheduled expeditiously.
