Baby Boomers- Insurance
Health Insurance costs continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation, posing significant strain on retirees who plan to live on a fixed income. OTRS will pay $100-$105/month to supplement these costs for members who have at least 10 years of credible service. Take a close look at all your options before retirement, including the high deductible option. Members will switch to Medicare at age 65 and will receive the same OTRS supplement to offset the Medicare Supplement.
