Your Insurance Benefits


When you retire, you, your spouse, and your eligible dependents can enroll in the plan's group insurance offerings.

Your share of the insurance premium is deducted from your monthly pension payments. See current rates. These rates apply to all public school retirees who retire after Jan. 1, 2013, or to previous retirees who were not yet eligible for Medicare coverage as of Jan. 1, 2013. Annual rate sheets are mailed out each year to members before the Jan. 1 effective date.

Note: Please refer to the Premium Subsidy Eligibility section below for factors that may affect your subsidy eligibility and long-term care. See headers below.
