Grant PUD
before you go
Click on the summaries below and read carefully to understand how your benefits are affected as you leave your Grant PUD employment. Summaries include detailed benefit information, timelines, and carrier contact information.
If there are differences between the above listed documents/below listed highlights and PUD policy, plan documents, or state/federal law, the policy/plan document/law will govern in all situations.
medical, dental, vision
Coverage for you and any covered dependents end on the last day of the month during which you separate employment or retire. You have the option to continue coverage through COBRA. Rehn, our COBRA administrator will send a letter, describing your options, costs, and enrollment deadlines.
Retirees: Contact HR at least two months before your retirement date if you believe you are eligible for the retiree medical insurance subsidy.
HRA VEBA
Employer contributions stop on the last day of employment, but your funds remain in your account and can be used for eligible expenses. Because HRA VEBA is considered a health plan, you will receive COBRA notification from HRA VEBA.
Retirees: If you are a bargaining unit employee, 90% of your unused PL will be deposited into your HRA VEBA account (see LOA #18).
Flexible spending account
You have 90 days from the date of your separation to submit receipts to get reimbursed for eligible expenses.
Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance
You can continue (port) or convert your life insurance coverage. Contact your Benefits Specialist if you are interested before your last day.
long-term care (UNUM)
You can continue your long-term care insurance through UNUM, provided you submit an application to UNUM within 31 days of separation.
public employees’ retirement system (PERS)
Employee and employer contributions stop on the last day of employment. You have the option to leave contributions in your account or withdraw contributions. Contact the Department of Retirement Systems to make sure you understand your options.
deferred comp (MissionSquare)
Employee and employer contributions stop on the last day of employment. You can leave your funds with MissionSquare and leverage the PUD’s low fee structure. Contact MissionSquare to talk through your options and to make arrangements for any outstanding loans.
