Time to Review
- At Open Enrollment, as a retiree, you may continue, cancel, or decrease current coverage. You may not add coverage. Once coverage is canceled, it may not be reinstated or added later. Any changes to your Retiree benefits will require your written authorization.
- Premium changes required due to any rate change will be effective January 1, 2023. If you have FRS deductions for premium payments, any required changes will be submitted to FRS in November for your January deduction. A new FRS Deduction Authorization form is not needed.
- If you currently do not have your premiums deducted from your Florida Retirement System (FRS) monthly benefit check and would like to, please request an FRS Deduction Authorization Form from BOI and return it to BOI. Your deductions will start as soon as possible. Please be aware that you must pay via personal check or money order until the FRS deductions begin.
Coverage Change:
- Any coverage you elect to cancel cannot be reinstated at a future time. Your current coverage will automatically roll over unless BOI is notified in writing to change or cancel coverage.
- Enroll in Medicare Part A and B as soon as you are eligible, as the County’s Group Health Plan will automatically become secondary to Medicare. Provide BOI with a copy of your Medicare Card showing you are enrolled in Parts A and B.
