18 MPS Retiree Health Insurance Important Points to Remember! In order to be eligible for retiree health benefits, you must be enrolled in an MPS health insurance plan, as the subscriber on your date of retirement. For example, if you opted out of MPS health insurance or if your spouse was enrolled as the subscriber, you should plan to switch during the Open Enrollment period prior to your retirement date. You cannot enroll outside normal enrollment periods while working or enroll after your retirement date. You do not have to draw your pension in order to retire from MPS for retiree health insurance purposes provided you meet the above eligibility requirements. You must advise the Department of Benefits & Compensation, in writing, that you are resigning to retire but deferring your pension Milwaukee Public Schools 18
19 MPS Retiree Health Insurance Important Points to Remember! Once you unenroll from the MPS retiree health insurance coverage or you let your premium payment lapse, you cannot later get your MPS retiree health insurance plan back. Retirees may switch health plans and update MPS insurance information during the annual open enrollment period in FALL (with an effective date of January 1 st ). Open, read and keep your MPS Open Enrollment booklet every year because it contains important information that may affect you. Your MPS retiree health insurance premium will be deducted from your pension check and you will need to sign the necessary MPS authorization forms before you retire. MPS will bill you monthly for your retiree health insurance premium if you have no pension to collect it from OR if the amount of your pension is less than the amount of the health premium you owe MPS Milwaukee Public Schools 19
20 MPS Retiree Health Insurance Important Points to Remember! If you terminate employment at MPS before age 55 but have met all of the other requirements (i.e., sick leave and years of service) you cannot later enroll for MPS retiree health insurance. If you remarry or marry after your retirement, your new spouse is not eligible to be added to your MPS retiree health insurance plan. Your vision coverage (through National Vision Administrators) and a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) if enrolled terminates upon your retirement. Retirees can reduce coverage from family to single but cannot change from single to family coverage after retirement. You must keep MPS Department of Benefits & Compensation advised of your address changes and other events such as death, divorce, etc. after you retire because we continue to mail important information about your benefits. Rehired retirees can maintain their retiree health and life coverage and are only eligible to enroll in active health and life coverage if you sign an irrevocable waiver forfeiting the earned retiree health and life benefits Milwaukee Public Schools 20
21 MPS Retiree Health Insurance Important Points to Remember! When you and/or your spouse (or disabled dependent) become eligible for Medicare MPS offers a Group Medicare Advantage Plan: Enrollment in Medicare A & B is required, even if you choose not to collect your eligible Social Security benefits, as Medicare is effective and the primary payer the first of the month you/your spouse turn age 65 or the first of the month following your retirement (if already 65 or older at retirement), or if you or your spouse are disabled and eligible for Medicare upon retirement. You must enroll and maintain Medicare A & B. The premium for Medicare B will be deducted from your social security check or billed directly to you (if not collecting social security). As long as your Board Credit is greater than your premium for the MPS Group Medicare Advantage plan, you will receive reimbursement for all or a portion of your Medicare B premium (this feature is not available to any spouse including surviving spouses it applies only to the MPS retiree). Once enrolled in Medicare, please remember to provide MPS a copy of your Medicare identification card Milwaukee Public Schools 21
22 MPS Retiree Health Insurance Important Points to Remember! The MPS Group Medicare Advantage Plan combines original Medicare Part A (hospital) and Part B (doctor and outpatient visits) with additional benefits offered by MPS and prescription drug coverage (under a group Medicare Part D plan). Prescription Drug coverage: Once Medicare eligible, MPS will enroll you in a group Medicare Part D plan as part of the Medicare Advantage plan. You do not need to individually enroll in Part D. Pharmacy benefit coverage is provided by OptumRx. Enrollment in Medicare Parts A and B is required! Both Parts A and B are required to become enrolled in the MPS Group Medicare Advantage Plan. Failure to enroll in Medicare A and B may result in a lapse in your MPS retiree insurance coverage and may leave you uninsured. The MPS Group Medicare Advantage plan will be primary for all covered individuals, and will coordinate Medicare A, B and provide Part D (drug) coverage Milwaukee Public Schools 22
23 MPS Retiree Health Insurance Important Points to Remember! After your written resignation to retire is received by MPS, the Department of Benefits & Compensation will prepare and send out information and an MPS authorization and election form for your retiree health and life insurance benefits, if eligible. Your MPS representative for health benefits is assigned based on: Employee last name beginning A G: Employee last name beginning H O: Employee last name beginning P Z: Your MPS representative for Life Insurance: MPS does not provide retiree dental benefits. You can continue your dental coverage through MPS up to 18 months self paid under COBRA continuation. If you are not eligible for MPS retiree health insurance, you can continue your health coverage through MPS up to 18 months self paid under COBRA continuation Milwaukee Public Schools 23
24 MPS Retiree Life Insurance Eligibility ERW July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020 The eligibility for MPS group retiree life insurance is: Age 55 or older at retirement AND 20 years or more of MPS service. NOTE: Food Service, CHA, SNA and Building Service Helpers if hired on or after 7/1/86 are not eligible for retiree life insurance coverage. The premium before age 65 will be: Self paid by you Premium is based on the current group rate of $.35 per $1,000 coverage (monthly) Premium will be deducted monthly from your pension or billed to you if you defer your pension If you do not keep your life insurance premiums current, your coverage will lapse and you will not be eligible to re enroll 2015 Milwaukee Public Schools 24
25 MPS Retiree Life Insurance Eligibility The premium after age 65 will be: Fully Board paid Maximum coverage amount of $25,000 at the final reduction Amount of life insurance = 1 times your annual base salary prior to retirement, rounded to the next higher $1,000 (Note: Annual base salary does not include overtime and secondary jobs.)

28 MPS 403(b) Accumulated Leave Program (Formerly known as the MPS Severance Benefit) Upon your retirement from MPS, your benefit under the MPS 403(b) Accumulated Leave Program will: Be deposited within 4 6 weeks after your retirement in a fixed interest bearing account with either Voya, MetLife, TIAA CREF or WEA Trust based upon your current 403(b) election and you will receive written notification by either Voya, MetLife,TIAA CREF or WEA Trust when they receive the money and your MPS pay stub will reflect the amount of the contribution made by MPS. (Note: If you do not have a current 403(b) election, it will automatically be deposited with Voya.) Not be subject to a penalty upon withdrawal. You only pay the state and federal taxes as those that apply to employee contributions when they are withdrawn. Be available for withdrawal by you without a tax penalty within about working days after you sign the necessary paperwork with your 403(b) vendor Milwaukee Public Schools 28
