Dear Mark Hollandsworth:
We would like to express our strong support for HopeSource's 2017-2019 Department of
Transportation Grant Application.
HopeSource Transit System Dial- A -Ride will preserve a much needed demand response,
door-to-door transportation service for the special needs populations that reside in the rural areas
of Kittitas County. QuadCo's development of the Human Service Transportation Plan for
Adams, Grant, Kittitas, and Lincoln counties included surveying individuals with special needs
in each county. From the survey results for Kittitas County, 56% of those surveyed utilized
HopeSource. The transportation is essential for accessing health care, nutrition, senior centers,
job training and other basic services.
HopeSource, a community action agency, has continued to respond to the essential transportation
needs of Kittitas County's citizens with safe and reliable transportation service. We recognize the
vital service that HopeSource provides to the rural residents of Kittitas County and we encourage
continues support so that Kittitas County may retain the HopeSource Transit System Dial -A -Ride
service.
Sincerely, MSTAINED

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Employer agrees to abide by the provisions of the Washington Counties Insurance Fund (WCIF) Trust Agreement
Initials and Bylaws.
Extent of Coverage
Employee benefits will end on the last day of the month in which the employee becomes ineligible (except as
specified under federal and/or Washington state mandated extension rights). Employers may not continue an
employee's coverage on any active plan after the employee is no longer eligible. The only exception to this rule is
i for employees who lose coverage due to a disability and need to continue The Standard Long Term Disability plan
coverage in order to apply for Waiver of Premium at a later date. Continuation of coverage through COBRA and
Initials retiree plans (for retirees under the age of 65) is available to employees who qualify; provided the employer
maintains participation in a WCIF medical, dental, vision, EAP, and/or FSA plan(s).
Continuation of coverage is available in accordance with federal and Washington state law to members who become ineligible
for group coverage. Employers have a legal responsibility for certain notification requirements. Please reference the WCIF
eACE Manual (www. wcif.net) for notification procedures and forms for WCIF plans. Employers may also reference the US
Department of Labor(www.dol.gov) and the US Internal Revenue Service (www.irs.gov) for further guidance. Advisory
assistance on compliance with federal and state employment law regulations should be obtained from an employment attorney_
Waiver of Medical Insurance (for groups offering WCIF medical coverage)
Employer acknowledges that in order to allow an employee to waive WCIF medical coverage the employee must
Initials provide the employer with proof of other group medical insurance coverage.
Employer acknowledges that they may not offer cash incentives to employees who waive WCIF medical coverage.
Initials
Employers are required to offer the same coverage to their over age 65 employees (and over age 65 spouses/
domestic partners) as they do to all other eligible employees. Employer coverage is primary to Medicare.
Medicare beneficiaries are free to reject employer plan coverage, in which case they retain Medicare as their
Initials primary coverage. When Medicare is primary payer, employers cannot offer such employees (or their spouses)
secondary coverage (or incentives) for items and services covered by Medicare.
DISCLOSURES
Employers who offer WCIF medical coverage are required to cover a minimum of 75% of all eligible employees. Allowable
exclusions to this rule include enrollment in other verifiable group medical coverage (i.e. Tri -Care, Medicare, Medicaid,
Washington Health Plan Finder), or waiver due to religious belief. These members with allowable exclusions are not used to
calculate the group's participation percentage, and are thus netted out of the eligible employee count.
NOTE: For current groups who do not submit the Master Application by December 1, group benefits will default to
their prior year elections, if available, or mapped to most comparable plan.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
........ .,, .... _ .........
Employer agrees to abide by the provisions of the Washington Counties Insurance Fund (WCIF) Trust Agreement
Initials and Bylaws.
Extent of Coverage
Employee benefits will end on the last day of the month in which the employee becomes ineligible (except as
specified under federal and/or Washington state mandated extension rights). Employers may not continue an
employee's coverage on any active plan after the employee is no longer eligible. The only exception to this rule is
for employees who lose coverage due to a disability and need to continue The Standard Long Term Disability plan
coverage in order to apply for Waiver of Premium at a later date. Continuation of coverage through COBRA and
Initials retiree plans (for retirees under the age of 65) is available to employees who qualify; provided the employer
maintains participation in a WCIF medical, dental, vision, EAP, and/or FSA plan(s).
Continuation of coverage is available in accordance with federal and Washington state law to members who become ineligible
for group coverage. Employers have a legal responsibility for certain notification requirements. Please reference the WCIF
eACE Manual (www.wcif.net) for notification procedures and forms for WCIF plans. Employers may also reference the US
Department of Labor(www.dol.gov) and the US Internal Revenue Service (www.irs.gov) for further guidance. Advisory
assistance on compliance with federal and state employment law regulations should be obtained from an employment attorney.
Waiver of Medical Insurance (for groups offering WCIF medical coverage)
' Employer acknowledges that in order to allow an employee to waive WCIF medical coverage the employee must
Iniliais provide the employer with proof of other group medical insurance coverage.
Employer acknowledges that they may not offer cash incentives to employees who waive WCIF medical coverage.
Initials
Employers are required to offer the same coverage to their over age 65 employees (and over age 65 spouses/
domestic partners) as they do to all other eligible employees. Employer coverage is primary to Medicare.
�- Medicare beneficiaries are free to reject employer plan coverage, in which case they retain Medicare as their
Initials primary coverage. When Medicare is primary payer, employers cannot offer such employees (or their spouses)
secondary coverage (or incentives) for items and services covered by Medicare.
DISCLOSURES
Employers who offer WCIF medical coverage are required to cover a minimum of 75% of all eligible employees. Allowable
exclusions to this rule include enrollment in other verifiable group medical coverage (i.e. Tri -Care, Medicare, Medicaid,
Washington Health Plan Finder), or waiver due to religious belief. These members with allowable exclusions are not used to
calculate the group's participation percentage, and are thus netted out of the eligible employee count.
NOTE: For current groups who do not submit the Master Application by December 1, group benefits will default to
their prior year elections, if available, or mapped to most comparable plan.

DEFINITIONS
WCIF CLASS DEFINITION
Group of employees (affiliates, subsidiaries, or office locations within the same employer) within the same employer

included on the same bill, but are assigned class codes and will have separate class premium totals on the bill.
WCIF ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES DEFINITION
WCIF requires that employees work a minimum of 20 hours per week or 80 hours per month (whichever is less) to be eligible
for benefits. An Employer may require an employee to work more than 20 hours per week or 80 hours per month based on
employer policy or contractual requirements, and WCIF will honor the organization's minimum threshold. (Note: A covered
employee will remain covered during any unpaid furlough so long as the covered employee does not exceed 30 unpaid
furlough days in a single calendar year. Furlough days DO NOT include FMLA qualified absences, whether paid or unpaid).
Elected officials of participating employers are eligible for coverage and are exempt from the minimum hour requirement.
WCIF EFFECTIVE DATE DEFINITION

• On the first of the month are eligible for coverage effective the date of hire. (if the first of the month falls on a weekend
or holiday and the employee reports for work on the first business day following, coverage is retroactive to the first.)
• On the 2nd to the 31st of the month are eligible for coverage effective on the first day of the month following the date of
hire.
Employers may impose their own waiting periods. If an employer chooses to do so, the effective dates as listed above will
apply after the employee completes the employer's waiting period and becomes eligible for benefits. Note: Special eligibility
provisions are in place for firefighters.
WCIF ELIGIBLE DEPENDENT DEFINITION
Dependents who are eligible for WCIF coverage include:
• A lawful spouse or domestic partner,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Employer agrees to abide by the provisions of the Washington Counties Insurance Fund (WCIF) Trust Agreement
Initials and Bylaws.
Extent of Coverage
Employee benefits will end on the last day of the month in which the employee becomes ineligible (except as
specified under federal and/or Washington state mandated extension rights). Employers may not continue an
employee's coverage on any active plan after the employee is no longer eligible. The only exception to this rule is
Oki-, for employees who lose coverage due to a disability and need to continue The Standard Long Term Disability plan
coverage in order to apply for Waiver of Premium at a later date. Continuation of coverage through COBRA and
Initialscoverage
plans for retirees under the a of 65 is available to employees who uali
p ( g ) 'qualify; provided the employer
maintains participation in a WCIF medical, dental, vision, EAP, and/or FSA plan(s).
Continuation of coverage is available in accordance with federal and Washington state law to members who become ineligible
for group coverage. Employers have a legal responsibility for certain notification requirements. Please reference the WCIF
eACE Manual (www. wcif. net) for notification procedures and forms for WCIF plans. Employers may also reference the US
Department of Labor(www.dol.gov) and the US Internal Revenue Service (www.irs.gov) for further guidance. Advisory
assistance on compliance with federal and state employment law regulations should be obtained from an employment attorney.
Waiver of Medical Insurance (for groups offering WCIF medical coverage)
Employer acknowledges that in order to allow an employee to waive WCIF medical coverage the employee must
�Initials provide the employer with proof of other group medical insurance coverage.
Employer acknowledges that they may not offer cash incentives to employees who waive WCIF medical coverage.
Initials
Employers are required to offer the same coverage to their over age 65 employees (and over age 65 spouses/
domestic partners) as they do to all other eligible employees. Employer coverage is primary to Medicare.
Medicare beneficiaries are free to reject employer plan coverage, in which case they retain Medicare as their
Initials primary coverage. When Medicare is primary payer, employers cannot offer such employees (or their spouses)
secondary coverage (or incentives) for items and services covered by Medicare.
1E-1qS•l-il1 l 4�
Employers who offer WCIF medical coverage are required to cover a minimum of 75% of all eligible employees. Allowable
exclusions to this rule include enrollment in other verifiable group medical coverage (i.e. Tri -Care, Medicare, Medicaid,
Washington Health Plan Finder), or waiver due to religious belief. These members with allowable exclusions are not used to
calculate the group's participation percentage, and are thus netted out of the eligible employee count.
NOTE: For current groups who do not submit the Master Application by December 1, group benefits will default to
their prior year elections, if available, or mapped to most comparable plan.
