Retiree Eligibility. The following requirements will apply for retiree eligibility for all Member Groups unless otherwise noted in the Plan document.
1. A retiree is a former officer or employee of a Member Group participating in the Plan who is retired for service or disability, and who received, is receiving, or is eligible to receive retirement benefits under the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System or any other retirement system or plan applicable to officers and employees of the special district or public body.
2. The retiree must have been covered as an active employee under a medical plan under the Plan at the time of retirement to qualify for continued coverage.
3. The retiree must enroll in retiree coverage within 60 days of their date of retirement. The retiree has the option of enrolling an eligible spouse/qualified domestic partner and/or dependent for coverage at retirement, provided they are covered through the Plan at the time of the employee's retirement. Dependents not enrolled in retiree coverage at the time of retirement may not be added at a later date; however, a new spouse or qualified domestic partner, or new dependent children acquired after retirement will be eligible to enroll within 31 days of the event. Dependents become ineligible if the retiree leaves the Plan, unless the retiree's loss of eligibility is due to Medicare eligibility or death.
4. Eligibility ceases for a retiree, or the spouse, qualified domestic partner or dependent of the retiree, when the individual becomes Medicare eligible.
5. A retiree who returns to work for a Member Group and who become eligible for benefits as an active employee, may temporarily drop the retiree plan for the active plan, and later return to the current Member Group’s retiree plan as long as coverage under the Plan is continuous.
6. A retiree may elect to continue coverage in whichever coverages they had as an active employee. Dependents of retirees can only be covered on the dental plan if they are also covered on the medical plan.
7. Retirees continue at the rates specified by SDIS or as specified by law.
8. If the Member Group from which the employee retired leaves SDIS, the retiree is no longer eligible to continue retiree coverage through the Plan.
9. The Member Group determines the amount, if any, that it will contribute toward the cost of retiree coverage.
