The purpose of this chapter is to provide a fair and efficient method of determining the eligibility of an employee for the benefits enumerated under the Public Safety Employee Benefits Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 320, §§ 1 et seq.) (PSEBA), as amended. All benefits provided public safety employees shall be consistent with PSEBA, which provides basic group health insurance for an injured employee, the injured employee's spouse, and for each dependent child of the injured employee until the child reaches the age of 25 if the child continues to be dependent for support or the child is a full-time or part-time student and is dependent for support. In accordance with PSEBA, the benefits ascribed herein are limited to group health insurance and do not include any additional benefits the PSEBA applicant may have received as an employee of the village, including, but not limited to dental or vision insurance. The village has identified its BlueAdvantage HMO Plan as its basic group health plan. The Village Manager retains the right to identify an alternative basic group health plan as needed.
