Superannuation

Any employee who has terminated employment with the District and elects to retire under the provisions of the Public School Employees’ Retirement System may, at the employee’s option, and with the approval of the insurance carrier, retain membership in the District’s group health insurance program, up to age 65, by direct payment of premium by the individual.

This is allowable under PA Act 110 (1988) which requires school employers in PA to give retirees and their dependents the right to continue coverage in the group health plan to which they belonged as employees. The coverage may continue until they are eligible for Medicare benefits (usually age 65) or until they are covered by another group health insurance plan.

Act 43 (1989) amended Act 110 by defining those retirees eligible for continuation of group coverage as those who

• Took superannuation (normal) retirement on or after age 62 OR

• Retired with thirty (30) years of service, OR

• Were receiving PSERS disability benefits

The Acts stipulated that the purchase of the continuation of coverage shall equal the cost of the program for active employees and dependents (plus 2% administrative fee).
