If you elect a high deductible medical plan, making you eligible for the district’s contribution into your corresponding Health Savings Account, and then due to a qualifying event waive your insurance, you will only be eligible for the difference between the district's HSA contribution amount and what your waiver stipend amount would be, if any.
Employees that elect the Cash-in-Lieu medical waive option and then elect a high deductible medical plan, due to a qualifying event, will only be eligible for a prorated amount of the districts HSA contribution.
