Insurance for Retired Employees. The Employer agrees to make available group plans for health insurance (including HMOs if available in the group benefit package offered by the Employer) and life insurance for employees retired under any Florida or local Retirement Plan. However, in no case will any insurance provision for retirees be adopted which has any adverse impact upon active employee premiums. The Insurance Committee shall study the costs of expanding group life insurance coverage to retired employees to determine any adverse impact upon active employee premiums. Those who are enrolled and covered under the provisions of Medicare Parts A and B may continue coverage beyond age 65 by paying a premium for Medicare supplement coverage. A provision for group life insurance for retired employees shall be incorporated into any bid for group life insurance made during the term of this contract. In the case where two (2) married employees are retired from the School Board, one (1) retiree may carry the spouse as a dependent on the health plan, and that dependent may convert to single coverage under the plan without proof of insurability upon the death of the other, providing that there is no break in coverage. Retirement shall be construed as receiving benefits under any Florida or Local Retirement Plan.
