An employee who retires after September 1, 2008, is eligible to purchase health, medical, and/or dental insurance as provided for the regular employees through the county at the rate charged to the county by the insurance carrier/company, provided:
A. That the insurance carrier agrees to allow Pershing County to offer this benefit to retiring employees;
B. At the time of retirement, the employee must have at least twenty (20) years of service and be at least sixty (60) years of age or have at least thirty (30) years of service at any age; and
C. At the age of sixty five (65), the retiree would no longer be eligible for the insurance.
Pershing County would apply two hundred dollars ($200.00) as a subsidy towards the premium and the retiree would be responsible for the balance of the premium. (Ord. 341, 2020: Ord. 255, 2008)
