MEMORANDUM FOR.,, Special Support Assistant to the DD/S
Assistant to the DD/I (Administration)
Executive Assistant to the DD/S
SUBJECT: Health Insurance for Certain Contract
Employees
1 4 ti
1. The Deputy Directors (Plans) and (Support) have recently
approved the adoption of it health insurance program for certain
contract employees which is generally comparable to that author-
ized for appointed employees under the Federal Employees' Health
Benefits Act of 1959. Contract employees are specifically ex-
cluded from the provisions of that Act; however, the Agency is
administratively extending to them a comparable benefit to be pro-
vided under a special contract
2. Eligibility under this program is limited to those full-time
contract employees who are U. S. citizens or resident aliens, whose
employment relationship to the Agency is comparable to that of
appointed employees, and whose services have been approximately
equated to the General Schedule salary levels of appointed employees
for compensation purposes. The employing unit is considered to be
in the best position to identify contract employees who thus qualify
for this benefit and we must rely on them to ensure that eligible
personnel are informed of this program and that only eligible per-
sonnel apply. We are therefore suggesting that the additional copies
of this memorandum and the descriptive material which are attached
be distributed to appropriate operating levels in your respective areas.
The descriptive material has been prepared so that it may be given
to eligible contract employees along with application forms.
3. The initial enrollment period extends through 1 December
1960. After this period, only new employees or those being converted
to contract status may apply and they must do so within 60 days of
employment in contract status. Later "open periods" for individuals
who do not apply within the prescribed period will be scheduled from
time to time. The Teri-up hospital. plan now available to contract em-
ployees will be cancelled as of 1 December 1960, the closing date for
enrollment in the new plan. Individuals who do not join the new plan
will not be insured after 1 December 1960. Unearned premiums will
be returned to the individual as soon as possible.
