UC is pleased to offer for the first time a vision plan option to retirees. The plan benefits will model the 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.
Special communications from the Vision Services Plan (VSP) in the coming months will provide details about enrollment and premium cost. The enrollment period will be held in April and coverage will be effective July 1. Please note that the plan will not be open for enrollment every year.
For questions about the benefits, contact VSP directly at: 1-800-877-7195 (Group No. 00101923).
