Open Enrollment for Medicare

Open Enrollment for Medicare Health and prescription plans runs from Oct 15th - Dec 7. If you retired with health insurance coverage, you are encouraged to speak with someone from your district business office and someone from your local union BEFORE making any changes to your coverage. Coverage is different for each local as health insurance is a locally negotiated benefit. The benefit you have in retirement depends on the contract language in place when you retired. Unfortunately, this is not something that RC 12 can help with. Please be careful!

The League of Women Voters has some advice tor navigating social media.
