What happens when a retiree turns 65?
The current rules state that retirees can continue coverage under OEBB medical, vision and dental coverage until the first month in which they reach age 65 and/or become eligible for Medicare, whichever occurs first. (There is an exception to this for individuals who qualify for Medicare due to end stage renal disease). If the educational entity allows, retirees may elect to continue dental coverage only, but they are not eligible to continue medical, pharmacy or vision.
