What happens to the “Rule of 75” under the proposed retiree health benefit changes?
A. The Rule of 75 will not exist after the retiree health benefit changes take effect in 2009 (proposed effect date: July 1, 2009). Thereafter, premiums will be paid on a cost-sharing model. Under the proposed plan, your College subsidy will be your combined age plus years of benefits-eligible service on July 1, 2009.
