You can do all of those things by starting here. Select any of the following links to learn about your options so you can make an informed decision. Thank you for your contribution as a public servant and congratulations on your retirement!  

• To continue your coverage into retirement, you must re-enroll in retiree coverage.  Note: If you decline retiree coverage, you may lose your right to re-enroll in retiree coverage in the future.
  
  

• Retirement is a life event that allows you to make changes to your coverage such as adding new dependents to your plan.  To add a dependent, you must provide documentation to support their eligibility for coverage (e.g., copies of birth certificates, marriage certificate, etc.).
  
  

• Your plan election remains in force for the entire plan year (July 1 - June 30) unless you experience a qualifying event.  Certain qualifying events allow you to add or remove dependents. If you move outside of the plan's coverage area, or you age into Medicare, you may be able to eligible to change your coverage.
