Setting up and maintaining health insurance deductions for retirees in ERIC is the responsibility of the employers.

Reporting health insurance in ERIC includes four main areas:

• Adding a retiree to insurance
• Adding a new insurance rate
• Changing an existing insurance rate
• Terminating insurance for a retiree

All new retirees wanting to have health insurance deducted from their retirement benefit, must complete the Health Insurance Authorization Form along with their previous employer. A copy of this completed form must then be sent to MPERA before the employer can enter the insurance information.

There are a couple Common Validation Errors and Messages you may receive when setting up a retiree’s health insurance.
