Section 36-29-10

Election by retired employees to continue coverage under group insurance plan; payment of premiums therefor.

Employees covered under this plan who retire from active service and begin receiving monthly benefits from the Employees' Retirement System of Alabama or from the Teachers' Retirement System of Alabama may elect to continue coverage under the group insurance plan by consenting to have deducted from their monthly benefit payment the difference in the total cost of their insurance coverage and the portion authorized to be expended by the state employees health insurance plan for coverage of such retired employees. The premiums so deducted shall be transmitted monthly to the state insurance board. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions no person otherwise eligible for coverage under this plan shall be denied participation therein, for the reason that such person is precluded from having the cost of his coverage deducted from a monthly benefit payment. The board shall adopt such rules and regulations as they deem appropriate and necessary for carrying out the provisions of this subsection.
