Health Insurance Subsidy/Premium Tables

Health and Dental Insurance Subsidy/Offsets

Eligibility

Annuitants who retired for any reason on or before May 31, 2007 and who were receiving a subsidy/offset on December 31, 2007, are eligible to receive a County-paid medical and/or dental subsidy/offset payment during calendar year 2009.  

If you are not eligible for the subsidy/offset, you may elect to purchase coverage on a self-pay basis. 

Annuitants who waive coverage during 2009, who have previously waived coverage, or who are deemed to have waived coverage for any reason (except for non-payment of premium), shall be permitted to enroll in County-sponsored retiree coverage within 30 days of a Qualified Status Change Event or during any enrollment period specified in the sole discretion of the County, subject to all terms and conditions set forth in the policy (including proof of continuous coverage), provided such coverage is being offered to similarly situated Annuitants by the County at the time coverage under the re-enrollment request is to become effective.  Similarly, eligibility for a subsidy/offset payment shall be restored provided that the County is providing subsidy/offset payments to similarly situated Annuitants at the time of the reenrollment request. 

If you are a retiree from a Special District, you should contact your district to determine if a subsidy/offset is available to you.
