An Act relative to the Group Insurance Commission and Medicare migration

This bill requires the Group Insurance Commission to transfer eligible retirees (age 65+ without free Medicare Part A coverage) to Medicare Part A and Part B by July 1, 2026. The Commission must pay all Medicare Part A premiums and any federal penalties resulting from the transfer. Retirees must provide required information and enroll in a Commission-offered Medicare supplement plan that provides coverage of comparable value to their current benefits. This directly affects retirees, their spouses, and dependents currently covered under specific sections of the state's retirement insurance program.
