Transitioning to Retiree Health Benefits - Part Two

This video guides employees through the steps involved in transitioning health benefits from employee to retiree status, including important information to know before begining the process, checking eligibility and finalizing your application.  Medicare and Medicare Part B reimbursement is also reviewed.

Included below is information about what is covered in each section of the video (as well as the position in the video where that information is provided).  However, for best results, we recommend the  video be watched in its entirety (4 minutes, 13 seconds).
