Retirees

Provide written notice to your supervisor

If you have any questions, please contact us at benefits@clackamas.us. If you have more complex questions or need guided assistance, please schedule a Zoom appointment with one of our benefit team members through the online appointment scheduler.

As an eligible retiree, you have the opportunity to continue your group medical, dental and EAP insurance that was in effect at the time of retirement up to age 65 (or Medicare eligibility, whichever comes first). Retiring employees and retirees participating in the medical portion of the Clackamas County retiree benefit program who are Medicare eligible have the option of enrolling in one of the county’s group Medicare advantage plans.

Provide written notice to your supervisor when you have decided on a retirement date with Clackamas County. Your notice should indicate your final day of work and specify that you are “retiring.” Your supervisor will work to produce a Personnel Action form, which is distributed to the appropriate departments.

We do not have requirements regarding the timing of your written notice. However, ample notice will ensure a smoother transition to retirement. We recommend at least 60 days advance notice.

Receive your Retiree Packet and make your choices

When your final paycheck is processed, a retiree benefit packet will be mailed to your home. In the packet you will find information about your benefit election options, plan comparisons, a rate sheet, retiree benefit election form, auto pay enrollment form and materials regarding the continuation of other optional benefits.

Retirees

Provide written notice to your supervisor

If you have any questions, please contact us at benefits@clackamas.us. If you have more complex questions or need guided assistance, please schedule a Zoom appointment with one of our benefit team members through the online appointment scheduler.

As an eligible retiree, you have the opportunity to continue your group medical, dental and EAP insurance that was in effect at the time of retirement up to age 65 (or Medicare eligibility, whichever comes first). Retiring employees and retirees participating in the medical portion of the Clackamas County retiree benefit program who are Medicare eligible have the option of enrolling in one of the county’s group Medicare advantage plans.

Provide written notice to your supervisor when you have decided on a retirement date with Clackamas County. Your notice should indicate your final day of work and specify that you are “retiring.” Your supervisor will work to produce a Personnel Action form, which is distributed to the appropriate departments.

We do not have requirements regarding the timing of your written notice. However, ample notice will ensure a smoother transition to retirement. We recommend at least 60 days advance notice.

Receive your Retiree Packet and make your choices

When your final paycheck is processed, a retiree benefit packet will be mailed to your home. In the packet you will find information about your benefit election options, plan comparisons, a rate sheet, retiree benefit election form, auto pay enrollment form and materials regarding the continuation of other optional benefits.
