Q.

What if I'm required to make a premium payment as a retiree and I don't make that payment?

A.

Your eligibility as a retiree would be terminated on the first of the month following the month the premium was due but unpaid.  You would then be offered coverage through COBRA which requires an election of coverage and separate premium to be paid within the required time-frame.  COBRA eligibility generally extends for a period of 18 months.

Q.

How do I maintain my monthly Health Care coverage?

A.

Continuous employment at a contributing employer or the payment of any premium due as a retiree will maintain your eligibility under the Plan.
