Medical is harder for me to wrap my arms around.
Pre-Medicare, you would pay 80% of the total cost of coverage because your longevity would be less than 20 years on property. (I don’t have a guess on that number.) Right now with PPO, as an active employee, we pay 20% of the plan cost. So, four times that amount Pre-Medicare, in your situation.
Eligibility for After-Medicare.
When you are eligible, you would pay a monthly contribution for the cost of After-Medicare coverage. The monthly contribution is equal to the total projected cost of such After-Medicare coverage for the calendar year, per person, minus a company contribution equal to $XX per month per person covered. Right now that would be around $300 per person per month.
I’m not seeing any work longevity number that triggers eligibility for UAL Medical Retirement (After-Medicare) benefits. (5 years on the property; 10 years? I’m not seeing it defined.)
