b. Amendment to the Orange County Personnel Ordinance Article IV, Section
28-36, Health Insurance
The Board considered approving an amendment to the Orange County Personnel
Ordinance Article IV, Section 28-36, Health Insurance regarding retiree health coverage for
employees hired on or after July 1, 2012.
Interim Human Services Director Sharon Laisure went through the changes that would
occur as a result of this amendment:
- Increase the eligibility requirement from a total of ten year Orange County service to
twenty continuous years of Orange County service for a retiree under age 65 retiring
with a service retirement;
- Increase the eligibility requirement from a total of five years Orange County service
to ten continuous years of Orange County service for a retiree age 65 or older OR
an employee retiring with a disability retirement;
- Reduce the cap on the amount the County will pay for post-65 benefits to 50% of the
amount paid for active employees' health insurance (compared to the current 100%);
and
- Require any retiree eligible for Medicare due to disability or age to enroll in Medicare
Parts A and B and end enrollment in the County's group health insurance.
This will affect all employees hired on or after July 1St, 2012.
Commissioner Yuhasz asked about the "continuous service" and Frank Clifton said that
they found under the older program that people would work then leave and then come back to
retire in order to get the retirement health benefits. He said that this is a retention benefit.
Commissioner Yuhasz said that the 20-year period is long enough that would warrant
this particular benefit. Commissioner Jacobs agreed.
Commissioner Foushee suggested seeing what happens in the market for other local
governments.
