Department:	Civil Legal Division

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize a request for an amendment to the Aetna supplemental group life insurance ("Plan 2") so that a Webb County Employee, Spouse, and Dependent with group life insurance who reach the “Age Reductions” will be effective January 1 of each year rather than on their respective date of birth. This amendment will become effective January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024; and authorize the Webb County Judge to sign all relevant documents and any other matters incident thereto. [Requested by Risk Management; Account #6100-1090-001- 432057 (Cafeteria Administration)]

Issue: The current life insurance available to the Webb County Employees is subject to an Age Reduction when the employee reaches a specific age, making the amount of coverage and premium vary throughout the year.

Result: Both the rate band and age reduction will take place on January 1st. Anyone aged 64-69 who turns 70 during the year would not be age-reduced until Jan 1st of the following year.
