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.

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.
