The $261,000 contribution shall be adjusted annually based on whether the cost of the Vision Plan increases or decreases. In the event the cost of the Vision Plan increases, the contribution of the dental plan shall decrease by the same amount (e.g. vision plan $87,000, dental plan $258,000). In the event the cost of the Vision Plan decreases, the contribution to the dental plan shall increase by the same amount (e.g. vision plan $80,000, dental plan $265,000).

CTA will also provide a report from the administrator as to the projected claims against the plan for the remainder of the school year. In the event the projected claims exceed the unexpended portion of the total District contribution for that school year, an additional contribution from each member participating in the family dental plan shall be deducted in equal installments from the remaining paychecks in that school year. The amount of the deduction from each such participant shall be determined by dividing the total projected claims in excess of the required District contribution by the number of unit members participating in family dental coverage.

In the event the combined contribution from the District and participating employees exceeds the cost of claims, the excess, measured as of June 30 , shall be deposited in a District Trust and Agency account for the purpose of offsetting the cost of employee contribution in a succeeding year should claims against the plan exceed the District's total contribution for that school year.

Pending final resolution of current litigation, the District shall enforce the rule as set forth in the May 15, 2012 memorandum effective January 1, 2015.

In the event the rule set forth in the NYSHIP Memorandum Number 122r3 is ultimately upheld, this provision shall be deemed amended so as to be consistent with said rule.
