Retiree Medical Grant to Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) Transition
Effective June 16, 2023, the County of Orange will transition from the Retiree Medical Grant to a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). Your Retiree Medical Grant will freeze.
Starting June 16, 2023, the County will begin contributing to your new HRA. An HRA provides increased flexibility for covering retiree medical expenses.
Starting April 3, 2023, you will elect to either freeze your Retiree Medical Grant in grant form or take the value of your frozen grant as a one-time deposit into your new HRA.
To help prepare you to make this decision, a presentation has been developed to go over the changes approved by the Board, the options that will be made available to you beginning April 3rd, and what the next steps are in the process.
Attend a live presentation to:
1) Learn what a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) is.
2) Learn about your two options.
Option 1 - Rollover value of Retiree Medical Grant.
Option 2 - Retain the frozen Retiree Medical Grant.
3) Learn how to make this very important decision
4) Find out where you can get more resources to help you make the best decision for you and your family.
With approval of your supervisor, you are permitted to use County time to attend one of the scheduled presentations.
