Senate Bill 189 versus PEBTF Domestic Partner policy
- Target: 2000
- Sponsored by: CONCERNED PARENT'S AND STUDENTS
BUT PEBTF passed on April 18, 2009 that PEBTF & REHP Members Can Extend Benefits to unmarried Domestic Partners. It was effective July 1, 2009 that commonwealth employees enrolled in Pennsylvania Employees Benefit Trust Fund benefits and retirees enrolled in the Retired Employees Health Program may extend coverage to certified domestic partners (same sex and opposite sex). How can PEBTF stand by domestic unmarried partners with no INCREASE IN PREMIUM but they will not stand by our children who are in school and are suppose to be our future? Governor Rendell stresses the importance of education and now is a factor in PA not getting the budget passed. EDUCATION is important. Guess PEBTF doesn%u2019t think this way. Something is wrong with the picture here.
Senator Longietti's House Bill 838 would have helped the parents and students but the Senate would not pass his bill and instead passed Senator Corman%u2019s bill Senate Bill 189. Bill 189 said the employee must pay for the added coverage and the child is only added if the policyholder (typically the employer but for us it is PEBTF agrees to have them added which they will in January but for a premium. Senator Longietti%u2019s bill would have helped the parents and students because it stressed the employer or PEBTF in our would cover the premiums.
PEBTF needs to RECONSIDER and quit being biased. Please help to circulate this and to sign the petition. Please let anyone and everyone know by email, word of mouth or whatever it takes.
