The DP3 trustees have learned there is legislation pending in congress that would have a short-term positive impact for our members who are utilizing the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC), at the expense of eliminating the HCTC program entirely on January 1, 2014.

The positive changes include an increase in coverage from the present 65 percent of healthcare premiums to 72.5 percent, and continued coverage of Qualified Family Members (QFMs) after the HCTC-eligible retiree is covered by Medicare.

DP3 is currently discussing these changes with members of Congress, but before taking action, we need to determine approximately how many of our members would be negatively impacted by the elimination of the HCTC program on January 1, 2014.

Your response to this brief survey will help us determine our strategy.
