How will the new federal health care law affect UC sponsored medical coverage? Many retirees are wondering.

With the new healthcare legislation signed into law on March 25, the regulatory process is expected to start in the near future. UC Human Resources continues to closely monitor the implementation of the employer-related provisions.

UC retirees will be given notice of any changes, as well as information about how to take necessary actions, once additional details are available. For example, many people are anxious to know how to include adult children under age 26 in their health plan. This provision will be effective at UC, following open enrollment, for the start of the 2011 calendar year. This provision does not apply to adult children who are eligible to enroll in another employer-sponsored plan. UC HR will provide details as soon as it can.
