What
about retiree-pay-all health benefits?
|
This is a
situation specifically addressed in the Statements. | |
|
Generally,
the cost of benefits must reflect the cost as if this was a separately rated
group. | |
|
If retirees
are paying an active or COBRA rate, there will generally be a hidden
subsidy. | |
|
This can
generate a substantial liability (can be several thousand dollars per
currently active employee, and over $10,000 per currently retired
participant). |
