  • Retiree Benefits:
    Access your County Retiree Handbook for information about eligibility, plan options, rates, provider contact details, and health insurance subsidies.
  • Medicare Ready!
    Before you retire from the county you must get Medicare ready (if applicable)! At the time of retirement, if you or your spouse are 65 or are approaching 65, please start the process for enrollment before you meet with the county HR Benefits team. Timing is critical and Medicare always begins on the first of the month. Contact one of our Cigna onsite representatives at OCRep@cigna.com in order to understand the county’s retiree supplement plans so you are prepared to make your elections when you meet with us.
