The term of this Agreement shall begin on January 1, 2024. <br />2. Employees' required contributions towards health plan premiums shall be determined by <br />the Association. To the extent that the Affordable Care Act ("ACA") is still the law, such <br />employee contribution must fall below such threshold in order to meet the ACA's <br />affordability threshold under the Federal Poverty Line Safe Harbor. This means that the <br />employee's required contribution toward premiums for the lowest cost plan that offers <br />minimum essential coverage shall not exceed nine and twelve hundredths percent (8.39%) <br />(or the applicable percentage set by the ACA for the year) of the monthly Federal Poverty <br />Line for a single individual that is in effect during the six (6) months prior to the start of <br />the plan year (For example, in 2024, the monthly Federal Poverty Line for a single <br />individual is one thousand two hundred fourteen dollars and ninety cents ($1,214.90); eight <br />and thirty-nine one hundredths percent (8.39%) of one thousand two hundred and fourteen <br />dollars and ninety cents ($1,214.90) is one hundred and one dollars and ninety-three cents <br />($101.93).
