2022 Voluntary Opt-Out of Health Insurance Coverage
If you have the ability to obtain health insurance from another source such as your spouse or a previous employer, the
Tampa Bay Rays or Rowdies will pay you a bonus for voluntarily opting-out of our health insurance coverage.
In return for proof of other credible health insurance coverage and my agreement to voluntarily opt-out, I am now eligible
for one of the following bonuses:
Employee Opt-out – $1,500 – if you voluntarily opt-out
Child(ren) Opt-out – $3,500 – if your children voluntarily opt-out
Spouse Opt-out – $3,500 – if your spouse voluntarily opts-out
Spouse and Child(ren) Opt-out – $3,500 – if your spouse and your children voluntarily opt-out
Employee and Child(ren) Opt-out – $5,000 – if you and your children voluntarily opt-out
Employee and Spouse Opt-out – $5,000 – if you and your spouse voluntarily opt-out
Employee, Spouse and Child(ren) Opt-out – $5,000 – if you, your spouse and your children voluntarily opt-out
You are not eligible for a bonus under the following scenarios:
• Death or divorce of a spouse
• Child who reaches the maximum allowable age to be covered as a dependent
• You do not have credible coverage but your spouse and/or dependent children do
• You elect any tier of coverage in the 70% Minimum Value Plan
To qualify, please complete the section below and return to the Human Resources department, along with proof of
other credible health insurance coverage (i.e. a letter on Employer or Group letterhead identifying all covered
members, the effective date of coverage and signed by an authorized representative). Once all of the necessary
paperwork is received and verified, your voluntary opt-out bonus will be divided by your total number of pay periods for
2022 and that amount will be added to each of your corresponding paychecks. If you terminate employment prior to the
end of the calendar year, you will forfeit this bonus and the Rays will not pay any amounts for months after you terminate
employment. This is processed as a bonus and will expire at the end of each calendar year and requires re-verification
of the aforementioned items.
