Totally and permanently disabled. Three years of service must be with the University of Texas. Enrollment for Retiree Insurance Retiree insurance does not automatically continue upon retirement. The completed form should be submitted in the month in which you are retiring, but no later than 31 days after the last day of employment. If you do not enroll within 31 days of your retirement, you are not eligible to enroll until the next annual enrollment period.
Retirees receive the same medical, dental, and vision coverage options as active employees.
Dependents may be added within 31 days after your retirement date if you provide proof that the dependent was covered elsewhere at the time of your retirement. When you enroll in retiree insurance you will receive Premium Sharing, which is the amount the state and the University contribute toward the cost of your insurance premium. The amount that is currently being deducted from your monthly paycheck for medical, dental, and vision insurance will typically be the amount you will pay as a retiree. However, insurance rates and premium sharing allocations are subject to change each fiscal year due to contract changes and Legislative decisions. If Premium Sharing does not cover your total premium cost, you will receive a billing statement by mail every three months for the balance due.
