Can the HRA ($25K VEBA) be used for any Health care expenses, or just if you use the company Retire Health?
Same question for the VEBA (%0.50/CH), can a retire with other healthcare use the VEBA to offset his cost?
I think are benefits should be for everyone. As in, a retiree with Tricare, Tricare for Life, spouse's plan, etc. should be able to offset his cost from the VEBA. He is "paying" for the offset during his employment. So our benefits should be equal across the board. The question is, does the Trust only offset FedEx ALPA post-medicare healthcare? Or is it to offset a retirees medical expense, regardless of where the health coverage comes from?
The way I understand it...To be eligible for the post Medicare Pilot Reimbursement Plan(PRP) you have to be covered under a FDX health plan immediately prior to participating in the PRP.
