Expiration of Sick Leave

When your sick leave credits that help pay for all or a portion of your retiree health benefit premiums expire, your benefit plans do not terminate. Your enrollment in those plans will continue and you will be responsible for paying the full premium cost. If you wish to terminate any or all of your benefits once your sick leave expires, you will need to complete the Retiree Benefits Change form and return to the Benefits Division.
