[OEBBSUPERINFO] OEBB -- Proposed Rules Filing Notice

[OEBB - Superintendents]

The Oregon Educators Benefit Board filed the following proposed rules
with the Secretary of State on May 11, 2012:

Division 30 - Plan Design Development and Selection -  Amended language
in 111-030-0005 and 111-030-0010 removes limits on the number of plan
options effective for the 2012-2013 plan year. 111-030-0047 is new
language that details the development of a new benefit plan, flexible
spending accounts.

 

Division 40 - Enrollment - Amendments to 111-040-0001, 111-040-0005,
111-040-0010, 111-040-0020, 111-040-0030 and 111-040-0050 clarify
existing language in rule. 111-040-0015 expands language on eligibility
audits. 111-040-0025 tightens the timeframe on correcting processing
errors and also gives the OEBB Administrator the authority to grant
exceptions to the OEBB Administrative Rules. 111-040-0040 removes some
events as Qualified Status Change events which are written and explained
in other parts of the rule. OEBB's review of these rules prompted
revisions to keep language used in contracts with carriers,
communication materials and everyday language consistent with our
administrative rules.

 

Division 50 - Continuation of Coverage - Amendments to our Continuation
of Coverage Division 50 rules are similar to those amendments in
Division 40, but apply to COBRA and Early Retiree population. OEBB's
review of these rules prompted revisions to keep language used in
contracts with carriers, communication materials and everyday language
consistent with our administrative rules.

Division 65 - OEBB Early Retiree Administration - These new rules govern
the processes and procedures for which OEBB plans to administer the new
self pay early retiree groups.

Division 80 - Operations, Appeals and Administrative Reviews - The
amendment to the Appeals and Administrative Reviews rule, 111-080-0030
gives the Administrative Review Committee (ARC) the authority to make
exceptions to our administrative rules.

A public hearing on these rules will be held on June 20, 2012 at 10:00
a.m. in the OEBB Boardroom at the DAS General Services Building, 1225
Ferry Street SE, Salem, Oregon.  

You can also provide written comments. Written comments can be emailed
to April Kelly at april.kelly at state.or.us or mailed in hard copy to:
April Kelly, Oregon Educators Benefit Board, 1225 Ferry Street SE, Suite
B, Salem, OR 97301.  

All public comments must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on June 30,
2012 to be considered during the rulemaking process. Any comments
received after June 30, 2012 will not be reviewed or considered by OEBB
unless OEBB decides to extend the public comment period to everyone.
