If the employer pays HC contributions, does that mean that the employee will be covered by a Catamount Health Care plans?
No. The HC contributions will be used to subsidize the Catamount plan and other aspects of the health care reform initiatives, but there will be eligibility requirements for individuals seeking coverage. Those requirements are dictated in statue and will be further defined by the Agency of Human Services. The Department of Labor’s only role in this matter is the collection of employer contributions.
