RETIREE DENTAL EXPENSE PLAN

The Retiree Dental Expense Plan, administered by Aetna Dental, is available to:

• State and local government retirees eligible to enroll in the Retired Group of the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) Retired Group, and
  
  
• Local education retirees eligible to enroll in the Retired Group of the School Employees' Health Benefits Program (SEHBP).

Most retirees have one opportunity to enroll in the Retiree Dental Expense Plan when the individual retires or becomes eligible for enrollment in SHBP oe SEHBP Retired Group coverage. Enrollment is generally offered within 30-60 days of retirement or eligibility for benefits under the Retired Group.

All State retirees — and most other retirees — who enroll in the Retiree Dental Expense Plan are responsible for paying the full cost of the coverage.
