Section 393.34. Licensee health insurance.

(1) A licensee may deduct an amount from set-aside fees due to offset the cost of health insurance. A licensee shall submit proof of coverage with each monthly vending facility report. The amount of the health insurance deductible shall be annually recommended by the committee and shall be approved by the commission board. The determination of the deductible shall be based on a budget analysis   to  determine   if the deduction will continue.

(2)     If set-aside funds are insufficient to continue the deduction as a licensee benefit, then the deduction may be discontinued or altered by the commission based on a recommendation of the committee with the approval of the commission board or upon staff recommendation.

(3)     The health insurance deductible shall be used for a licensee's expenses for health insurance. Proof of payment shall be submitted each month showing the  coverage period, carrier, and type of insurance (family or single). Deductions shall not be more than the actual amount paid for the licensee's portion of health insurance coverage.
