For all regular employees working full-time, the District will pay 85% of the premiums currently in effect for employee and dependent coverage for the lowest cost plan available to District employees offered through CalPERS. However, the District shall have the unilateral discretion to provide a higher level plan. The District payment is inclusive of the CalPERS minimum health contribution (current amount). The balance of the total District contribution is a cafeteria like plan contribution. In the event an employee elects a higher cost coverage, the employee shall pay the increased cost for that plan. District premium payments apply to retirees and their dependents as applied to active employees and their dependents for employees/retirees hired before October 1, 2012. 

Employees hired after October 1, 2012, shall be eligible to receive retiree health contributions in an amount equal to the CalPERS minimum health contribution only.

PERS Gold has been selected as the District's 2023 lowest cost plan. This means that the District will contribute 85% of the PERS Gold plan amounts of $591 to $1538, depending on benefit selection of employee only to family coverage. The District selected this plan in an effort to slowly work toward the lowest plan available to CCSD employees and not create a significant financial impact.
