[Adopted 5-10-2011 by Ord. No. 5190 (Ch. 102, Art. VIII,
of the 2004 Code)]
To receive retiree health benefits from the Township of Union
an eligible retiring nonbargaining unit employee and/or official must
meet the following criteria (unless otherwise expressly provided by
personal service contract, or by law):
A.
The retiring employee has 25 years or more of service credit
in a state or locally administered retirement system and a period
of service of at least 20 years with the Township of Union at the
time of retirement; or
B.
The retiring employee is 62 years or older with at least 15
years of service with the Township; and
C.
The retiring employee was eligible for employee medical coverage
during the last five years of his/her employment with the Township;
and
D.
The employee retires from an employment position with the Township
of Union under "service retirement" as defined by the Public Employee's
Retirement System ("PERS") or the Police and Firemen's Retirement
System ("PFRS").
A.
The eligible retiring employee will be enrolled in the plan
provided by the Township with the appropriate status (employee only,
employee and spouse, employee and family, etc.). The Township shall
have the right, in the future, to change, modify or eliminate health
insurance plans.
B.
If the Township modifies or change in health insurance plans
occurs, any retiree receiving such benefits shall be covered by the
health insurance plan selected by the Township.
A.
Any eligible retiree provided medical benefits and who is eligible
for enrollment in Medicare must enroll in and purchase Medicare Part
B coverage, with the cost of such purchase to be reimbursed by the
Township. By law, upon retirement and upon attaining age 65, Medicare
is the primary carrier and the Township's health insurance carrier
is secondary. Reimbursement by the Township for the cost of Medicare
Part B coverage is subject to modification and/or elimination in the
future as the Township deems necessary.
To the extent the terms and provisions of this article differ
or conflict with any policy, practice or custom of the Township of
Union with respect to retiree health benefits prior to April 24, 2011,
the terms and provisions of this article shall supplant and supersede
any such practice or custom.
