Provision is made in the retirement
law for the withholding of monthly premiums
for your continued coverage in a group health
and life insurance program sponsored by the
governmental unit by which you are employed
at the time of retirement.
While continuation of insurance
coverage for retirees is an optional matter
for the various governmental units in the
Commonwealth, most cities and towns have accepted
the necessary provisions. Members who are
considering retirement are advised to check
with their retirement board about whether
the relevant governmental authorities have
voted to extend this benefit. Members of the
State, Teachers’ and City of Boston Retirement
Systems are eligible to receive this benefit
from the Commonwealth.
