Please Note

  • The non-contributory basic life insurance is reduced from $10,000 to $5000 and you may maintain your supplemental coverage up to a maximum of $75,000.
  • As a retiree, there are no changes in the health benefits.
  • During the period that you are awaiting your first annuity check, you are required to make direct payments to the Group Health Insurance office to maintain your insurance coverage.

Medicare

Medicare becomes your primary insurance once you are retired and have attained age 65. Your government sponsored Group Health Insurance plan then becomes your secondary insurance.
