Dear Dr. Heilman:

 

This will confirm the following agreement:

 

Regular full-time FACULTY MEMBERS who are granted educational leave without pay will be eligible for continuation of health and prescription drug benefits, and health and welfare benefits in effect at the time the educational leave without pay is granted. Such FACULTY MEMBERS will receive health and prescription drug benefits by paying the required COBRA premiums. APSCUF and the STATE SYSTEM agree that these FACULTY MEMBERS will be promptly reimbursed by the Health and Welfare Trust Fund for an amount equal to their COBRA premiums, less any premium contribution that may be in effect. APSCUF and the STATE SYSTEM agree that FACULTY MEMBERS will continue to receive Health and Welfare benefits from the Fund for the length of their educational leave without pay or for the duration of COBRA eligibility.

 

Please indicate your concurrence with the above stated terms by signing below and returning a copy to this office.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Judy G. Hample

Chancellor
