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.
