I retired several months ago and plan to continue my health insurance coverage with my employer for eighteen months. When the COBRA continuation coverage expires may I join the state health plan through Public Employees Retirement System?
Yes. To join the state health plan you must make application within 31 days of a qualifying event. Loss of coverage from your employer is a qualifying event. You may also have TFFR deduct the monthly premium from your retirement check. See NDPERS Health Insurance – eligibility and premium information.
