How do I maintain my monthly Health Care coverage?
The chart below shows the number of hours per month required for the different levels of coverage, for the contribution rate of $8.05 ( the contribution rate effective for most agreements as of January 1, 2017)
Schedule of Hours
Level A Level B Level C
Hours Needed @ $8.05 rate 140 120 100
Benefit Credits Required 1,127 966 805
Maximum “Bank” 4,508 3,864 3,220
Example
If you select level A (1,127 Benefit Credits per month) and work 150 hours in June at $8.05 per hour, that 150 hours x $8.05 per hour earns you 1,207.50 Benefit Credits. 1,127 of your Benefit Credits are used for your coverage in August. This leaves you with 80.50 Benefit Credits added to your Bank.
