I. Retiree Medical Coverage for Retirees Not Eligible_for the City Medical_
Retiree Subsidy Plan
Employees who retire from the City after January 1, 2004 and are granted
a retirement allowance by the California Public Employees' Retirement
System and are not eligible for the City's Retiree Subsidy Medical Plan
may choose to participate in City sponsored medical insurance plans until
the first of the month in which they turn age sixty-five (65).
The retiree shall pay the full premium for City sponsored medical
insurance for themselves and/or qualified dependents without any City
subsidy.
Employees who retire from the City and receive a retirement allowance
from the California Public Employees' Retirement System and are not
eligible for the City's Retiree Subsidy Medical Plan and choose not to
participate in City sponsored medical insurance upon retirement
permanently lose eligibility for this insurance.
However, if a retiree who is not eligible for the City's Retiree Subsidy
Medical Plan chooses not to participate in city sponsored medical
insurance plans because the retiree has access to other group medical
insurance, and subsequently loses eligibility for that group medical
insurance, the retiree and their qualified dependents will have access to
city sponsored medical insurance plans reinstated.
Eligibility for Retiree Medical Coverage terminates the first of the month in
which the retiree or qualified dependent turns age sixty-five (65).
J. Post-65 Supplemental Medicare Coverage
Retirees who are participating in the Retiree Subsidy Medical Plan as of
January 1, 2004 and all future retirees who meet the criteria to participate
in City sponsored medical insurance, with or without the Retiree Medical
Subsidy Plan, may participate in City sponsored medical insurance plans
that are supplemental to Medicare, after a contract is in place between the
City and a health insurance provider.
A retiree or qualified dependent must choose to participate in City
sponsored medical insurance plans that are supplemental to Medicare
beginning the first of the month in which the retiree or qualified dependent
turns age sixty-five (65).
The retiree shall pay the full premium to participate in City sponsored
medical insurance plans that are supplemental to Medicare for themselves
or qualified dependents without any City subsidy.
6
Retirees or qualified dependents, upon turning age 65, who choose not to
participate in City sponsored medical insurance plans that are
supplemental to Medicare permanently lose eligibility for this insurance.
In order to completely implement the terms and conditions of this
agreement pertaining to the Article X — Health and Other Insurance Benefits,
Sections I and J the City and MEA agree to meet and confer regarding
changes to Exhibit I of the current Memorandum-of-Understanding. The City
