New Planning for Retirement flyer

We are happy to announce a new Planning for Retirement publication. The flyer includes information on health insurance coverage in retirement, sick leave credits and continuing benefits such as life insurance, hearing, dental and vision care. This November 2001 publication replaces the September 2000 Planning for Retirement. Please dispose of/recycle the September 2000 flyers and give this revised publication to employees who are considering retirement.

Distribution

We will not mail the flyer to enrollees. We will send you a supply of the Planning for Retirement flyer equal to 20 percent of your active enrollment for employees considering retirement.

Publications available on EBD Web site

Please check this Web site for copies of new publications. We generally post publications when we sign off for printing. Use the "Publications and Forms" link.
