What happens to group health and dental benefits if my spouse is under age 65?
When the early retiree reaches age 65 and becomes a regular retiree, if his or her spouse is younger than 65, the spouse may continue coverage until he or she attains the age of 65, or for 10 years, whichever occurs first. The spouse must pay the full premium for this continued coverage and will be billed monthly for the premium.
