<br />48 <br />221698v1 <br /> <br />Minnesota law, Minn. Stat. Chapter 43A, provides that upon retirement, an eligible City employee <br />and his or her covered dependents can participate in the group health/dental insurance program at the <br />same premium rate as active employees until age 65. <br /> <br />Coverage and level of benefits provided to retirees under age 65 and their dependents must be <br />identical to that provided for active employees and their dependents. <br /> <br />Retirees age 65 and over may stay in the group indefinitely, but premium rates do not have to be <br />pooled with the active employee rates and retiree coverage does not have to be identical to active <br />coverage. The retiree must pay the entire premium. <br /> <br />Spouse and/or dependent coverage can be continued after retirement only if the employee carried <br />dependent coverage prior to retirement. Employees are not required to continue spouse and/or <br />dependent coverage after retirement. <br /> <br /> <br />
