On May 2, 2019, the Board of Fire and Police Pension Commissioners approved a 5.5 percent increase to the non-Medicare health subsidy.&nbsp;&nbsp;The new non-Medicare health subsidy maximum is $1,820.29 per month, effective July 1, 2019.



While the upper limit of the Board’s authority to increase the non-Medicare subsidy is the lesser of seven percent or the Board-approved actuarial medical trend rate, an increase of 5.5 percent will subsidize health insurance premiums in a manner consistent with the Board’s fiduciary duty to all participants of the Plan.&nbsp; The approved increase to the maximum non-Medicare subsidy is based on objective factors, including changes in the actual retiree health plan premiums and market trend, and the overall impact to current and future retirees.&nbsp;



Members who either: (1) entered DROP or retired prior to July 15, 2011, (2) are members of Tier 6, or (3) chose to opt-in to pay an additional two percent in contributions, are eligible to receive a maximum non-Medicare health subsidy not to exceed $1,820.29, effective July 1, 2019.
