The <br /> retiree pays the cost for any group health insurance or Medicare supplement <br /> coverage for the retiree or the dependent costing more than the County <br /> contribution. If the retiree waives coverage,the County provides no cash <br /> payment in lieu of such coverage. <br /> 7.2.5 Payment Of Premiums For Which The Retiree Is Responsible <br /> The retiree pays Orange County any required premiums monthly. With <br /> appropriate notice,the County terminates coverage when premiums are more <br /> than 30 days past due. The health insurance provider bills the retiree directly for <br /> any Medicare supplement coverage for a dependent. <br /> 7.2.6 Dependent Under Age 65 At Death of Eligible Retiree <br /> Upon the death of the retiree enrolled in the County retiree health insurance,the <br /> County offers a dependent on group health insurance continuation of coverage <br /> under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act(COBRA). The <br /> dependent is eligible for such coverage for up to 36 months(or until attaining <br /> age 65)provided the dependent pays the full cost of this coverage. <br /> 7.2.7 Eligible Retiree Returning To Work In NC Local Government <br /> If the retiree returns to work with another North Carolina Local Government <br /> employer in a position which offers group health insurance coverage (whether <br /> the employee elects it or not),Orange County cancels the retiree's health <br /> insurance coverage through Orange County and such coverage may not be <br /> reinstated. <br /> F APers\Hea1di\RetireH9.Doc <br />
