Non-District Plan. 3.6.4.1 The retiring employee may elect to be covered by a health plan other than a District health plan and the established monthly District contribution level shall apply if the retiree is eligible for the District contribution and incurs an-out-of-pocket for premium expense. Annual verification of premium cost is required. If verification is not received when requested, the District contribution will be stopped until verification is received and will be reinstated prospectively only. Except as provided in Articles 3.6.4.1, 3.6.4.2 and 3.6.4.3, once a health plan other than the District’s plan is selected, the retiring employee or retiree will not be allowed to re-enroll in a District health plan unless an open enrollment period for such retirees is approved by the District health carriers and offered by Los Xxxx.
3.6.4.1.1 Retirees eligible to participate in a District Retiree Medical plan who retire before the age of sixty-five (65) may choose a health plan other than a District health plan either at the time of retirement or during retirement, prior to age 65, without forfeiting their ability to enroll in a District health plan upon turning sixty-five (65).
3.6.4.1.2 If such enrollment paperwork is not received in Employee Benefits within the 7-month window of turning sixty-five (65), the retiree will not be able to enroll at a later date. The 7- month window coincides with the Medicare enrollment window and includes the three months prior to turning sixty-five (65), the month of turning sixty-five (65), and the three months after turning sixty-five (65). The retiree must be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B. Enrollment in the Los Xxxx plan must coincide with enrollment in Medicare.
3.6.4.1.3 To enroll in a District health plan, retirees who were not enrolled in a District plan must provide evidence of continued coverage from the date of retirement, or cancellation of the Los Xxxx coverage, whichever is later, to the date of enrollment in Medicare and a Los Xxxx plan. The retiree must provide evidence of enrollment in Medicare Parts A and B. It is the retiree’s responsibility to monitor this and contact the Los Xxxx Employee Benefits Department and submit required paperwork within the timeline allowed.
