An Emeriti Retirement Healthcare Savings Plan provides peace of mind in retirement.

  • Tax-free investment earnings
  • Tax-free reimbursement for qualified
    medical expenses during retirement

It’s the perfect way to complement a retirement plan while accumulating savings now and later.

The plan features:

  • Dedicated, toll-free customer service
  • Online claims management
  • Convenient debit card
  • Reimbursements for participants, spouses, domestic partners and other eligible dependents
  • Group retiree health insurance underwritten by Aetna

And the funds accumulated can be used for:

Plus… it offers employees and employers a variety of benefits designed to make life easier!

  • Enable employees to plan for a more secure and timely retirement
  • Help attract and retain qualified employees in a competitive job market
  • Include retiree health benefits for targeted key and executive positions
  • Address financial risks with defined benefit retiree health promises
  • Optimize the total value of employer retirement benefits
  • Strengthen fiscal control over overall benefit commitments
