Updates

November 2023

• PEMCHA has been updated allowing Districts that use CalPERS healthcare programs to more easily implement AB 190

• CCFF shared a proposal with the District that would reinstate the pilot program for Fall 2023 and start offering comprehensive healthcare for PT Faculty in Spring 2024. The District has not provided a response. 

• Presentation to the Board by CCFF President Lynn Wang

September/October 2023

• During the 2022-2023 an Enhanced Healthcare Reimbursement Pilot program was offered at Cerritos College. The pilot program does not currently extend to the 2023-2024 Academic Year

• Summer 2023-CCFF was made aware of potential oversights and blind spots in the Part Time Healthcare Legislation (AB 190) with regard to CalPERS (Cerritos College healthcare plan provider). 

• CalPERS is governed by the Public Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA)  which defines Full and Part Time Employees differently than AB 190 

• LACCD and NOCCD were both able to work with CalPERS to attempt to meet these requirements and offer Part Time Healthcare 

• LACCD is currently being audited by CalPERS based on enrolling Part Time Faculty that meet the requirement of AB 190 into their District offered CalPERS healthcare plans

• CFT is working with the State and CalPERS to address these issues

• At this time offering comprehensive Part Time Healthcare Plans is not feasible until the blind spots are addressed OR Cerritos College changes insurance providers.
