Medicare Requirement. Retirees who become Medicare-eligible (currently age 65) are required to enroll in a Medicare-coordinated plan to participate in District-sponsored medical benefits. Failure to enroll in a Medicare-coordinated plan after receiving 30 days’ notice from the District of this requirement shall result in termination of retiree health benefits eligibility. Once a participant is terminated or withdraws from District-sponsored benefits, reinstatement in District- sponsored benefits shall not be permitted. All persons receiving retiree health benefits must provide evidence to the District that they have successfully enrolled in Medicare Part A or present documentation why they are not eligible to enroll. For retirees enrolled in District benefits, the District will reimburse Medicare Part B for those retiring with Medicare Part A. If, at any time, either UF or the District determines that District-sponsored Medicare- coordinated plans become substantially inferior to comparable plans offered to active employees, this article will automatically reopen. For retirees enrolled in District benefits, to be eligible for reimbursement for Medicare B, retirees must participate in a District- sponsored Medicare Coordinated/Advantage program for the period in which reimbursement is sought. Retirees may request reimbursement for the previous calendar year. Annually, in February, District will send a letter to retirees soliciting appropriate paperwork and documentation to be reimbursed for Medicare B. To be reimbursed for Medicare B, retirees must submit appropriate paperwork and documentation by the end of the calendar year in which retiree received District notification for reimbursement for previous calendar year. Faculty may submit requests for reimbursement annually or quarterly. Reimbursements will be paid quarterly as long as allowed by plan administrator.
