Those staff members who waive the insurance will be paid an additional bi-weekly compensation, with the understanding that this additional compensation is subject to FICA and Federal, State, and local income tax. The waiver must be in writing.

Staff members may either waive insurance coverage or revoke a previous waiver on an annual basis and in accordance with the procedure described in the plan.
