The issue in this grievance is whether the grievant was properly required to pay the employee share of her health benefits upon return to a pay status. After reviewing this matter, we mutually agreed that no 'national interpretive issue is fairly presented in this case. This is a local dispute suitable for regional determination by application of Part 525.2 of the ELM and Postal Bulletin 21365 (dated August 19, 1982) to the specific fact circumstances. The issue to be decided is whether proper procedures were followed to continue the grievant's enrollment in the health benefits plan while she was in a nonpay status. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for further processing including arbitration, if
necessary.
