Benefits

Retiree Medical Plan

The Retiree Medical Program is available to employees age 55 or older who retire from the University and their eligible dependents. Your coverage varies, depending on your age:

If you are age 65 or older and your spouse is under age 65 (or vice versa), you may want to review both types of coverage and associated costs since they may both apply.

Eligibility

  • If you were employed before January 1, 2005 in a continuous Benefits-Eligible position and are at least age 55 when you terminate employment, you are eligible to enroll in the Retiree Medical Plan.
  • If you were employed on or after January 1, 2005 in a Benefits-Eligible position and are at least age 55, you must also complete 10 years of continuous service to be eligible for the Retiree Medical Plan.
  • Medicare-eligible individuals must be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B to be enrolled in the Retiree Medical Plan.
