Hello PPACE members,

Hope you are having a good year!  Welcome to the new website.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in the medical expense savings/retirement survey. I have read all the responses and would like to take a minute to assure everyone this was ONLY a survey to see the direction the membership may be looking towards.

There have been no decisions or mandates regarding the information/survey that we put out to you. For years now, there has been a split in our membership on whether we should have some sort of plan to help with medical expenses when we retire and how to fund it. Whether it should be mandatory or voluntary. This issue is still present and definitely needs attention.

We are looking to provide a medical expense savings plan for our folks to help with ANY medical related expenses you encounter when you retire. (Example: premiums, co-pays, deductibles, prescriptions, etc.) This has nothing to do with PERS (which is the money you are paid based on the 2.65% multiplier and years of service for wages at retirement), nothing to do with PEBP (State Medical Insurance) and nothing to do with your medical benefits currently or at retirement.

We are looking at individual plans for all civilian employees. Meaning, no one will be supplementing anyone else. What you put in is what you have towards medical expenses at retirement. We are looking at several options and this is in its infancy and any proposal would have to be approved through LVMPD also.

Additionally we are unable to respond to the questions, statements, or concerns submitted in the comments portion of the survey as they were anonymous. If you have questions or concerns or would like information, please contact the Association office at 382-9121 Monday through Friday 7am-5pm.

We will have several meetings regarding options, questions, concerns, etc. in the next couple months.
