I do not believe that anyone will send you guys in waiting an e-mail. So, I would suggest that you get in touch with your local MNGT., whom may not know anything, if not you better do your own contacting and/or download forms. However you may have to go online and apply. One thing for certain is don’t set on your hands waiting because you may or may not get any notice. Good luck I have had the coverage for over 30 years.
please send me all info you might have thank you
The rate change starts in January of 2016 but the open season is in September of 2016? Just making sure the dates are correct so I don’t miss out on the open season this time. Also would like any post retirement insurance info you can send me. Thank you in advance.
Would like more info on the post retirement insurance. Please send email
