  1. Retiree health benefit option:

To qualify for the retiree health benefit (non-cash) benefit the employees must have five (5) years of Kings County continuous service immediately prior to retirement, are age 50 or older, and retire in good standing at the time of separation from Kings County employment. A percentage of the dollar value of accrued sick leave (at time of retirement) will be put into an "account" to be used toward Kings County health insurance premiums. The employee and any eligible dependents to be covered must be enrolled in the County's existing health benefit plan at the time of the employee's retirement in good standing from County service. Employees electing to utilize the retiree health benefit option must submit their election in writing to the Department of Finance not later than 14 days after the effective date of retirement. If the employee elects the retiree health benefit option, the County will pay up to the family option per month toward the employee's health insurance premium until the employee, and/or spouse if covered, is eligible for Medicare or the money runs out, whichever occurs first. Retiree health benefit payments may be used toward coverage for the employee's dependents only as long as the dependent(s) is eligible for coverage under the plan; has not reached Medicare eligibility and, in the case of children, only to the age permitted under the plan contract as dependent children. When an employee and/or spouse, if covered, reach Medicare eligibility the remaining money may be used for Medicare supplemental premiums until the money runs out. If the retiree dies prior to Medicare eligibility and there is money remaining in the account, the employees dependent(s) may continue to use the account, if eligible as stated above. In the event of death of an eligible employee (while still employed in good standing), the qualifying eligible dependent(s) shall make a determination of either cash or the retiree health benefit option within 30 days of the death of the employee.

  1. Cash benefit option:

Employees who fail to elect the retiree health benefit will be cashed out, if eligible. If the employee elects the cash option, the employee will receive the benefit if the employee separates in good standing as a result of resignation, layoff, retirement or death.

ELECTED OFFICIALS - POST RETIREMENT HEALTH INSURANCE

Kings County elected Officials may be eligible for a Post Retirement Health Benefit upon retiring from the County. All the criteria shall apply as for management post retirement health insurance generally except that: An elected official is eligible for the post retirement health insurance benefit described below if that elected official: 1) serves at least five (5) consecutive years in office without break in service between the five years served and the date of departure from elected office; and 2) either simultaneously retires from PERS at the end of such service (or is at that time already retired from PERS). The benefit is calculated by multiplying the hourly rate at the time of eligibility, by the number of consecutive years in office, and then multiplying the result by one half of the annual sick leave benefit provided to management employees at the time of eligibility. The official may defer use of this benefit if otherwise covered on the County health plan at the time of eligibility so long as there is no break in coverage during the deferral period. Pursuant to existing practice the balance does not accrue interest. (NOTE: The change in the formula will go into effect at the start of each sitting elected's next consecutive term in office and at the time of filing candidacy papers for any new candidate who is subsequently elected.) Any previously earned benefit will be calculated and recorded by the Finance Department.

If a balance remains at the time the elected, and/or his/her spouse or eligible dependent no longer participates in the County health insurance, this amount can be applied toward a Medicare Part B plan or Medicare supplement, or PERS Long Term Care plan. Participation in the County health insurance program is not required for the elected, and/or spouse or eligible dependent to direct all or part of the funds in this account to a Medicare Part B or PERS Long Term Care plan premium. In all other instances, any balance on account remains property of County.
