About Retirement Insurance

When you are leaving active employment keep all the coverage you think you will need. You can drop or reduce benefits later, but you cannot add health, dental or life insurance as a former employee.  

Leaving employment is not a qualifying event that allows you to make plan changes unless you are Medicare eligible.  You can only add benefits after leaving employment if you have a qualifying event or if you return to work for an EGID participating employer for three years. This qualifies you to retain benefits not elected upon ceasing employment. 

For further information regarding leaving active employment, call EGID Member Service at 405-717-8780 or toll-free 800-752-9475, TTY 711.
