Retiree Benefits

Retirees may have several options for continued benefits. If you retire from a school jurisdiction with ASEBP benefits, you may have access to ASEBP early retiree benefits until age 65, depending on your length of service with the jurisdiction. If your school jurisdiction does not carry ASEBP benefits, you may have early retiree benefits available under your employer’s benefit plan. Another option is benefits through the Alberta Retired Teachers’ Association (ARTA). ARTA benefits are also available to teachers once their early retiree benefits end at age 65. Retirees should contact ARTA prior to their 65th birthday or within 60 days of losing coverage in order to ensure there is no break in coverage. Contact ARTA directly for information about these benefits at 780-822-2400 or toll free at 1-855-212-2400 or www.arta.net.

Another option for retirees is coverage through another carrier such as Blue Cross. Research your options thoroughly and carefully as moving to another carrier may not be in your best interests and switching coverage later can have negative results.
