The retiree pays the cost for any group health insurance or Medicare supplement coverage for the retiree or the dependent costing more than the County contribution. If the retiree waives coverage,the County provides no cash payment in lieu of such coverage. 7.2.5 Payment Of Premiums For Which The Retiree Is Responsible The retiree pays Orange County any required premiums monthly. With appropriate notice,the County terminates coverage when premiums are more than 30 days past due.

The dependent is eligible for such coverage for up to 36 months (or until attaining age 65)provided the dependent pays the full cost of this coverage. 7.2.7 Eligible Retiree Returning To Work In NC Local Government If the retiree returns to work with another North Carolina Local Government employer in a position which offers group health insurance coverage (whether the employee elects it or not), Orange County cancels the retiree's health insurance coverage through Orange County and such coverage may not be reinstated.
