CAT Tracks for July 14, 2010

This post is a follow-up to the July 2nd Edition of CAT Tracks - explaining the transition from BlueCross Blue Shield to Egyptian Trust, a switch recommended by the District Insurance Committee and facilitated through a "loan" by the District.

That post mentioned that a "Letter of Authorization" would be forthcoming.

Accordingly, each member of the District's Group Health Insurance Program should receive said Letter of Authorization with your July 15th paycheck/paycheck stub. (Members who received "lump sum payments" should also receive said letters. If not, contact the Central Office.)

This "Letter of Authorization" should be promptly signed and returned to the District Central Office.

If you have any questions, you should contact the Central Office.

Below you will find a SAMPLE "Letter of Authorization".

Actually there are TWO...one for continuing employees of CSD #1 and one for non-returning, former employees who wish to remain covered through the end of August (or longer through COBRA.) You will receive the one that applies to you.

The letter will be "personalized"...it will be addressed to you and the dollar amounts will already be completed.

Again, you should promptly sign the letter and return it to the Central Office.

NOTE: If you wish to DROP the CSD #1 Group Health Insurance, you should notify the Central Office immediately, otherwise you will be liable for any premiums paid!)
