DCSMEC MEMBER ONLY BENEFITS-2015

by Rolando Sardiñas on December 2, 2014

TO: DCSMEC MEMBERS
RE: DCSMEC MEMBER ONLY BENEFITS-2015

Open enrollment for DCSMEC members is November 25, 2014 through December 10, 2014. All plans will be effective January 1, 2015.
The DCSMEC Solstice Dental and Vision Members Only Plan has more savings and benefits overall compared to the UHC and Delta Plans offered through the District. The DCSMEC Solstice Dental and Vision plans have provided coverage for union members for the past 12 years.
Solstice is introducing a NEW PPO High Option Plan I in 2015 for DCSMEC union members with an increased plan maximum of $2,000. Compared to the high option UHC and Delta Dental Plans offered by the District, DCSMEC members who insure their family with the Solstice new PPO High Option Plan 1 can save as much as $318 per year, members with one dependent insured can save as much as $767 per year, and members who have single coverage can save up to $100 per year.
The Solstice DHMO S700A and S200A member only plans cost less and have lower co-pays on a majority of dental procedures. Members insured with the S200A Plan will receive rates reduced by 2% effective January 1, 2015.
The DCSMEC Family Life’s new GAP Members Only Plan, effective January 1, 2015 will cover “both in and out patient “surgeries and continue to offer members an excellent benefit for hospital confinement. Family Life has provided plans to our membership for the past 10 years.
• Family Life will continue to pay up to $5,180 for a 6 day hospital confinement and the new plan II for 2015 will pay up to an additional $3,000 per day (up to 3 days) for in-patient surgery.
• Family Life new Plan II will also cover out-patient surgery rendered in an out-patient ambulatory facility and will pay a $1,500 benefit.
Please take the time to review the plans and we will make every effort to have representatives at the different yards during open enrollment to answer any question you may have and help you enroll in the DCSMEC plans.

TENTATIVE AGREEMENT REACHED

by Rolando Sardiñas on November 24, 2014

AGREEMENT REACHED
Tonight after many lengthy bargaining sessions, we reached an agreement for the 2014-2015 contract re-openers. We started these negotiations with the school board offering $0 for employee salary increases. After many long hours of hard work we have reached a tentative agreement.

The bargaining team worked tirelessly to find every dollar available. Taking the current political and budget climate in mind, we think that the resolution is fair and helps move us forward for the year.

• Highlights of M-DCPS/DCSMEC Collective Bargaining for 2014-2015
1. 2% salary increase effective 7/1/2014 to be payable 12/12/2014. (RETRO)
2. Tuition Reimbursement – Maximum reimbursement increased from $70 to $100 per credit hour.
3. Personal Property Loss Fund – expanded to cover lost or damaged tools. Maximum reimbursement increased from $300 to $400 per claim.

• Health Insurance –Effective 1/1/2015
➢ ​Same options and health plan design as available in 2014
➢ Cigna OAP 10, OAP 20 and Local Plus
➢ No increase in premium rates for employee and dependent coverage for OAP 20 and Local Plus;
➢ Slight increase in premiums for OAP 10.
