How SDPEBA can help when you Retire

When you’re planning retirement, we can help! Contact SDPEBA 6-12 months prior to retirement and we can make sure you maintain your benefits during this transition. We can also provide additional tips during the retirement process to make this relatively complicated process much easier!

Retiree Health Plans
SDPEBA also offers health insurance specific for retirees. We offer a Medicare Part C plan through Sharp (Sharp Direct Advantage). We also offer two non-Medicare plans if you don’t qualify for Medicare just yet.

When you speak to our benefit specialists before retiring, we can give you advice on which plan to choose based on your specific needs.

Aflac and Retirees
Aflac is not available to retirees, but you can keep your Aflac plan through SDPEBA after you retire so long as you enrolled in the plan while you were still an active employee.

Dental Insurance and Retirement

Most forms of Medicare do not cover dental. If you are using a dental plan that is not transferable into retirement, you can get a MetLife plan through SDPEBA. We offer an HMO and a PPO plan and can help you figure out the better plan when you contact us prior to retiring.
