Retiree Vision. The Employer will offer a fully insured vision benefit to all IAFF retirees effective January 1, 2024, in addition to the current zero cost vision discount plan. Retirees may maintain their ability to participate in the zero cost discount vision plan and they may choose to enroll in the new fully insured plan.
Retiree Vision. 6.2.7.1. Unit members who meet all of the following criteria are eligible to receive District-paid employee-only vision insurance coverage following retirement:
Retiree Vision. A retiree can opt to elect Retiree Vision coverage (Vision Base Plan), only when the employee retires. The retiree may discontinue only during the annual open enrollment. A retiree who cancels Retiree Vision coverage entirely may not re-elect vision coverage in any future Open Enrollment period. A retiree who discontinues vision coverage for their eligible dependent(s) may not re-elect vision coverage for the discontinued dependent(s) in any future Open Enrollment period. Retirees must agree to have premiums automatically deducted from their monthly pension check. Eligible dependents must be an existing spouse and/or dependent at the time of the employee’s retirement. Eligibility for coverage discontinues upon Medicare eligibility and, for dependent adult children, at age 26. The retiree is responsible for payment of 100% of the applicable vision premium. Retiree Vision coverage shall be provided so long as the District and participating Retirees satisfy the minimum qualifications and requirements of the available Vision plan.
