Can a teacher in a .5 permanent contract and a .5 eligible LTO position (same person) get full benefits coverage?

May 1, 2024

If a .5 permanent teacher also has an eligible 0.5 LTO teaching assignment, the member may combine eligibility and premium share to receive full benefits coverage with a 6% member contribution towards health and dental benefits for the duration of their LTO assignment.

After the LTO assignment is complete, the permanent member can continue to participate in the health and dental benefits. The member will be responsible for paying the pro-rated premium share (i.e. 50% + 6% of the premiums for health and dental) as required by the eligibility rules for contract employees.
