Beginning 1/1/2022, the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) will no longer offer a group medical & Rx plan. OPERS will instead provide a comprehensive Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) for the retiree to be reimbursed for qualified medical expenses and post-taxed medical plan premiums for both the retiree & dependents. Employees bringing their spouse onto their coverage will need for their premiums to be post-taxed for reimbursement. Also, even if the spouse is not added to your district’s coverage, your employee (nor the district) will be able to contribute to an HSA starting January 1st due to IRS regulations.
