Affordable Coverage Options After Retirement
Q: Do I need to make payments to maintain coverage in the 60+ Plan?
A: There is no monthly premium to maintain coverage in the 60+ Plan, but members must continue paying some form of union dues to remain eligible.
When Tom switched from the Active Plan to the 60+ Plan, he wondered if he’d need to make regular payments to keep his coverage active, especially since he was no longer working full-time hours.
He soon learned that the 60+ Plan doesn’t require ongoing work hours or a monthly premium to AGA Benefit Solutions. Instead, members must continue paying some form of union dues to remain eligible for coverage. This small, consistent obligation helps keep them connected to the union and ensures continued access to vital health benefits.
For Tom, this clarity brought peace of mind. Knowing that his coverage wouldn’t lapse and that no monthly premium was required allowed him to budget confidently in retirement, with reliable support for his health and wellness needs.
