dependent benefits

[Pismo Bill]

Whatever retiree health plan you and your family had when you retired will stay the same unless they've changed it. You would have received something in the mail saying there was a change. Did you retire as a part time employee? That could explain the UPS plan/team care you mentioned.

i am retired full time, who ever retired before the last contract (in so cal) remained in the ups plan, those who retired after go to teamcare.

under the ups plan my wife (who is 65 now) and i keep our health insurance including dental, vision and prescriptions the rest of our lives.

I don't have Teamcare (retirees from my local stayed on a UPS plan that mostly mirrors Teamcare) but I will get kicked off it and have to get Medicaid at 65.

i heard ups kicked your spouses of the health plan

 

[oldngray]

It was 50 a month here before the last contract too (for an individual). Now its 150/month individual or 300/family.

Still ends at 65.

Only if they were covered under another plan.
My wife does not work so she is covered until 65.

ups

Must be something your Local/Region negotiated.
Never heard of UPS paying once Medicare kicked in.
