The Trust’s fiscal year = July 1 to June 30
Cash Flow into the Trust:
| ·
The state pays an allocation to the district of approximately $768 (2012-13) per month per FTE (per S275) for health care, and the district provides this entire amount to the Trust each month. In addition, the district provides the Trust with $768 per FTE for all employees the state does not include in their calculations. The district also pays for those employees with less than .333 FTE and employees that do not elect to have health benefits through the Trust. The net result is the district pays the Trust approximately $768 per FTE for all employees of the district.
|
| ·
The district provides the entire amount ($768 per month per FTE) to the Trust each month.
|
| ·
Employees pay (through payroll deductions) approved amounts into the Trust each month for plan and options chosen. Generally, employee contributions for Group Health and WEA plans are more than the actual costs, and employee contributions are less than the actual costs for the plans.
|
| ·
The district pays the retiree subsidy (“carve out”) required by the state directly to the Health Care Authority ($65.17 per month per FTE) each month. These funds do not flow through the Trust.
