If you are a Uniformed Services retiree or spouse, no matter what your age, you are eligible for this program. One in four Americans with dental coverage relies on Delta Dental for quality, affordable benefits. The program is surprisingly affordable. To start enrollment, you'll need to make a prepayment of four months' premium. Once a payment process is established, the unused portion of the premium prepayment will be refunded to you approximately five months after your enrollment begins.
Federal law requires the government to first attempt an automatic deduction from retired pay.
A four months' prepayment ensures all eligible members will be able to participate immediately. The prepayment is used to pay the monthly premium until your payroll allotment or other payment process is established for you. Your application cannot be processed without your prepayment by check or credit card. You must enroll for an initial 24 months. Under government rules, no disenrollment is allowed during the initial 24-month commitment.
