PEIA public meeting scheduled for Huntington
HUNTINGTON — The Public Employees Insurance Agency continues a series of public meetings with a meeting in Huntington this week.
At 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 7, a hearing will take place at Marshall University Medical School in the Harless Auditorium, 1600 Medical Center Drive. Customer service and registration will take place from 5:30 to 6 p.m.
The hearings are to discuss the proposed plans for the Medicare-eligible retiree transition and the elimination of retiree subsidy for public employees hired after Jan. 1, 2010.
The finance board of the Public Employees Insurance Agency had voted in May to stop subsidizing retirement premiums, starting with 2010 hires. It also decided to transfer current retirees back into the agency’s main program, if it can’t continue its Medicare Advantage plan, but without restoring the $22 cut from their monthly premiums when that plan began in 2006.
The schedule also includes a hearing on Monday, July 6, in Morgantown. Previous meetings have been held in Beckley, Martinsburg, Charleston and Wheeling.
