ups retirement health ins

[IESucks]

Can anyone answer this question. I'm getting ambiguous answers. If you retire and say in the next contract after you retire there is language pertaining to retirement health ins that actually improves a certain situation you have. Does that language in the new contract pertain to previous retired friend/t as myself or only retirees after that particular contract.

Each new contract rules regarding insurance applies to all, including you

It's BS. You should be covered under the terms of what you retired under. I can understand a small adjustment for inflation.....maybe.. it's not like they are going to pay the hralhealth for the rest of your life.

Dental and vision is only a minor part. Yes it's nice to have but it won't bankrupt you if you don't have it.

Not in my plan. Retirees always had vision and dental. Not much different than active employees. Retirees are paying more out of the pocket now but its mostly the monthly charge (which includes vision and dental). Major medical is definitely a bit worse though.

You should get a statement of what your policy offers each year. It should remain the same for the full contract. With the new contract your benefits could change and your monthly premium could increase for the duration of the new contract. My wife was on Disability and the second I retired they kicked her off. But I also don't pay a premium for her either. Medicare takes her premium out directly every month.

Vision and Dental depends on your local. 705 in Illinois gets both. Retired dental caps at 1500 dollars per year. No unlimited anymore!

$200 per month here

$1,495 for myself and spouse here!

As of today, yes. When you retiree, who knows. After you retire, you may have it for awhile, and then lose it. We are seeing now, everything is subject to change. Whatever was told to you now or before, is meaningless.

You bring up a good point, all the more reason to stay in contact with current members and stress how important this will be for future members to push for improvements in this area.

Exactly Retirees get the shaft!!!

Not in Idaho, what? I'd be very surprised if your health coverage couldn't be changed after you retire, even in Idaho.
