View Supplemental Agreement

The County of Maui is offering to increase the amount of their contributions toward employees’ health benefit premiums effective July 21, 2025 through June 30, 2027. 

Maui County members in Units 2, 3, 4 and 13 are eligible to vote in the ratification starting in the afternoon of Monday, May 5 and ending at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 7.

Under the proposed agreement, the county will pay:

  • 100% of the premium and administrative cost of the HMSA 75/25 PPO plan or the Kaiser Standard HMO plan (single, two-party or family coverage) vs. current 90%.
  • 100% of the premium and administrative cost of the Verdegard Supplemental Medical and Prescription Drug plan (single, two-party or family coverage) vs. current 60%.
  • 100% of the premium and administrative cost for dental and vision coverage (single, two-party or family coverage) vs. current 60%.
  • $200 per month for employees not enrolled in any of the county’s medical coverage plans.

In the interest of equity and fairness, HGEA proposed that these subsidies be extended to all employees regardless of the medical plan they are enrolled in. Unfortunately, our proposal was not accepted at this time, and the county will not be offering the same increase in employer contributions for higher coverage medical plans.

Since the impact of this proposal differs depending on your medical and financial situation, HGEA is NOT making a recommendation on whether you should accept or reject this supplemental agreement from the county.
