[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 706352, member: 18044"] Are you[U] sure[/U] about that??? - - - - But if the day ever comes when our health benefits are taxable, I'm wondering how they will determine what our health benefit is worth. In New England UPS contributes $7.86 per hour for all paid hours of all part-time and full-time bargaining unit members, up to a maximum of 40 hours per week. That's a maximum of $314 per week, or $16,354 per year for a typical full-timer. This will rise to: $17,082 on August 1, 2010 $17,810 on August 1, 2011 $18,538 on August 1, 2012. [By the way, pension contributions are a few hundred dollars per year less than these figures.] The hourly contribution rate is the same if you are single or married or have several children. Part-timers in our particular fund (Locals 25 & 42) get "full-time" coverage if they work enough hours, or a lesser degree of coverage if they just work typical part-time hours. If they fall below that, they get no coverage at all. So in effect, all of us with coverage are being subsidized by those who contribute but don't qualify for coverage. And those with covered dependants are being subsidized by those of us with fewer dependants, especially those of us who are single with no dependants. There are also short-term employees who never work long enough to qualify for coverage, as well as New Hires that must wait months for coverage to begin. Some people even "buy-in" using there own money because they didn't have enough hours. So anyone know what formula they would use to calculate what our fund "costs" for "Single coverage" and "Family coverage?" [/QUOTE]
