Health insurance
1. Stipend in lieu of health insurance
This bill expands the eligibility of certain state employees to receive a stipend in lieu of health insurance coverage under the group health insurance program. Current law provides that state employees who were eligible for coverage in calendar year 2015 and who did not elect coverage for 2015 are not eligible to receive a stipend in lieu of health care coverage. This bill removes that prohibition if the employee elects to take state health care coverage in any calendar year following calendar year 2015.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 40.513 (3) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
40.513 (3) (a) The employee was eligible for an employer contribution under s. 40.05 (4) (ag) during the 2015 calendar year and elected not to receive health care coverage in that calendar year or in any succeeding calendar year.
(End)
