§ 2-34. Continuation of group insurance.

(a)

Former elected officials who have served at least one year with the city shall be eligible to participate in the city's group insurance program in like manner as an employee, upon payment by the former elected official of the total premium required for such coverage. This section is intended to permit former elected officials to enjoy participation in the city's group insurance program to the same extent as city employees.

(b)

The full cost of the premium authorized by this section for coverage of the former elected official and/or his spouse and any other eligible dependents shall be paid by the former elected official.

(c)

The former elected official may include his spouse and/or any other eligible dependents under the group insurance coverage to the same extent that he would have been able to include them if he were still an elected official of the city, merely by the payment of the full premium for himself, his spouse and/or eligible dependents by the former official.

(d)

If the former elected official should predecease his spouse, or should die leaving other surviving eligible dependents, and if the spouse and/or other eligible dependents were covered by the city's group insurance at the time of the former elected official's death, then the spouse and/or other eligible dependents may elect to continue coverage for as long as they would have been eligible had the former elected official survived, merely by the payment of the full premium for such spouse and/or other eligible dependents.
