KPPA outlines health insurance rules for reemployed retirees and Medicare implications
Summary
KPPA said Tier 1 retirees may choose KPPA or employer coverage during reemployment (with reimbursement to KPPA), Tier 2 retirees are not eligible for KPPA coverage during reemployment, and Medicare rules may affect supplemental insurance availability.
The presenter summarized health‑insurance effects of returning to work after retirement, distinguishing Tier 1 and Tier 2 members. "Tier 1 members can choose to take insurance through KPPA or the participating agency, while Tier 2 members will not be eligible for health insurance through KPPA while reemployed," the presenter said.
The presenter also warned that the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) rules may prevent KPPA from offering KRS Medicare supplemental insurance during reemployment for Medicare‑eligible retirees, though retirees can re‑enroll in supplemental coverage after reemployment ends or during open enrollment.
