Your employer is charging your spouse for declining health insurance through their employer? Sounds like a fake surcharge to me.

What doesn't sound legal is charging the fee to a spouse who does not work or has no other opportunity for insurance.

Well, my wife doesn't work so it isn't an issue for me. But it is an issue for some of my co-workers.

I don't work outside the home and every year I must sign a Continuation of Benefits for my husband's company stating that I do not work and have no other coverage. We don't get charged more because I stay at home.
