Each eligible retiree, spouse, or surviving spouse may receive one grant of up to $2,500, once every three years.
The grant is paid as a single reimbursement up to $2,500 for eligible expenses once every three years. You may apply to be reimbursed for a single expense or a combination of eligible expenses. To maximize reimbursement, wait until your receipts amount to or approach $2,500. Services must be incurred on or after July 1, 2019.
Before you incur an expense and apply for a grant, you may request the Board predetermine whether the expense and financial need qualify for a Retiree Medical Grant. Simply submit an application with a copy of the itemized, estimated costs.
