A new vision plan for retirees is now open for enrollment.
UC is pleased to offer retirees this plan for the first time. The plan benefits will model the Vision Service Plan (VSP) benefits currently available to UC employees. Retirees from all UC locations are eligible to enroll if they are:

• receiving monthly retirement (or disability or survivor income) with a UC-sponsored defined benefit plan, and
• enrolled in a UC-sponsored medical, dental, or legal plan or have elected to suspend UC-sponsored benefits.

Retirees from Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are not eligible for this plan.

Participation in this program is voluntary and monthly premiums will be paid entirely by the retiree at a group rate.

The open enrollment period ends April 30th. Coverage will be effective July 1. Please note that the plan will not be open for enrollment every year.
