Once your department finalizes your separation date, IU Human Resources will mail health plan information and enrollment forms to your home address. The university allows Retirees 60 days from the date of retirement to enroll in an IU medical plan.

Former employees with IU Retiree Status who are under age 65 are eligible to enroll if covered by an IU-sponsored medical plan at the time of retirement (or when COBRA eligibility ends).

Eligible dependents include the individuals listed below, if they are eligible and covered by the Retiree's IU-sponsored health plan at the time of separation from the university (or when COBRA eligibility ends).

• the Retiree's legal spouse
• the Retiree's dependent children who continue to meet the definition of a dependent child as defined by IU for active employee coverage.

Once enrolled in an IU Retiree medical plan, dependents cannot be added. Dependents are only eligible as long as the Retiree is enrolled. Surviving dependents are eligible if the former employee has Retiree status at the time of death or the Retiree’s death occurs while the dependents are covered under the Retiree's IU-sponsored plan.

It is your responsibility to notify IU Human Resources of any changes that will affect communications or eligibility including:

• Changes in status such as, divorce, legal separation, change in disability status, or death of a covered individual.
• Address changes
• Entitlement to Medicare
• Addition or loss of coverage under another group health plan

Contact IUHR at  or (812) 856-1234.

Retirees may terminate coverage altogether at any time by notifying IU Human Resources at or (812) 856-1234.

Retiree coverage ends on the first day of the month that the required contribution is not made. Dependent coverage ends when:

• the Retiree's coverage ends for a reason other than death;
• they cease to meet the definition of an eligible dependent;
• upon discontinuance of all dependent coverage under the plan; or
• when the dependent becomes eligible for employee coverage.

It is also important to note the following conditions of participation in IU-sponsored Retiree health coverage:

• After dropping IU-sponsored Retiree health care coverage, participants cannot re-enroll at a later time.
• Dependents of a participating Retiree may continue coverage should the Retiree pass away.
• If the Retiree and dependents do not elect an IU-sponsored medical plan at the time of retirement, they cannot participate at a later time.
