2013 Employee Benefit Guidebook Updated August 2013 benefit at the time of retirement, the benefit is forfeited for the retiree and dependents of the retiree. If the retiring employee is married to another El Paso County employee, the retiring employee may elect to be covered under the active married employee. Contribution Schedule: The cost for continuation of health benefits for retirees and dependents of retirees will be subject to the premium rate for the benefit plan(s) elected; however, the county may provide a medical plan retirement subsidy depending upon the number of years of creditable service the retiree had at the time of retirement. If the premium rate of the medical plan selected is less than the provided subsidy, no subsidy reimbursement to the retiree will occur. If the premium rate of the medical plan selected is more than the provided subsidy, the balance due will be deducted from the retiree’s benefit payment If the premium rate of the medical or dental plan exceeds the retiree benefit payment, the retiree is responsible to make payment for the health benefits directly to the Retirement Plan office by the 1 st day of each month. Non-Payment of Health Premiums: In the event of late or nonpayment of health premiums, coverage will be terminated retroactively to the last day coverage was paid in full. You will be given 30 days notice except in cases of fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Health benefits will not be reinstated if payment has not been received in full by the end of the 30-day grace period. The Health Plan Trust Board will determine the subsidy amount. The retiree subsidy rate may be re-evaluated and may be adjusted each year with increases to the retiree subsidy, which will be based on contributions for active employees. RETIREE DENTAL AND VISION PLAN Retirees who meet the eligibility requirements of the medical plan are also eligible for continuation of dental and vision coverage if enrolled at the time of retirement. The rate for dental and vision coverage will be based on the actual cost of plans. BOARD OF RETIREMENT: The Board of Retirement consists of seven members. Two are elected by the participants.
