New Jersey A2640 requires certain public employees to select health care benefit plans and prohibits public employers from paying employees who waive.

New Jersey A2640 mandates that certain public employees must choose health care benefit plans. Specifically, if an employee and their spouse are both public employees and eligible for health care benefits from each employer, the employee with the highest annual compensation must select coverage with their employer. The spouse will not be eligible for health care benefits from the spouse's employer. The bill also prohibits public employers from making any payments to employees who waive coverage under the employer's health care benefits plan.
