Affected Council District(s) or citywide?

 

Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.

The current definition of eligible employee does not reflect the OHR’s current practice of providing city-paid health insurance benefits to employees of independent agencies, not under the Career Service. 

 

The current definition of child is redundant. OHR requests to remove the term “step-child” as this relationship is covered with the existing language “natural child or adopted child of either a primary insured's spouse, or primary insured's partner in a civil union.”

 

Child Definition -  OHR respectfully requests a more precise definition.

 

 

Eligible employee definition - OHR respectfully requests an update to ordinance to reflect the intention of OHR to provide consistent benefits to all eligible employees.
