Can someone please educate me if it would be beneficial to decline, and if it is (or isn't), the reasons why.
Appreciate the help.
As has already been said here, each individual's case is different. I just made the transition this year to the airlines after retiring from the military. We looked over the company plan and decided it wasn't worth it to pay for that when Tricare gave us more for less. That was just our scenario. Best of luck.
