2019 Retiree Health Care Transition

The latest information concerning the transition to a new retiree health care plan for 2019 is included below. Please check back for updates throughout 2018. Information can also be found on the OP&F News Items link, in the Member’s Report newsletters and also at a special website for OP&F members set up by the Aon Retiree Health Exchange.

In the spring of 2017 the OP&F Board of Trustees made the decision to restructure the retiree health care plan, ending the group-sponsored model that was in place for several years. A new model is currently scheduled to be implemented on Jan. 1, 2019, and will provide eligible retirees with a fixed monthly stipend earmarked to pay for health care. OP&F, through its partner, Aon, will assist in finding the right plan for each retiree. It is OP&F’s goal that the move to a new health care option will extend available funding for health care to approximately 15 years. Current projections show that without changes, funding for retiree health care will be depleted in less than 10 years.
