Authorization for Deduction of Insurance Benefit Premiums

Pursuant to G.L. c. 32B section 7, the Medford Retirement Board does not monitor or administer insurance plans.  Employees, retirees and survivors must address all questions concerning insurance coverage directly to the Human Resource Department. The Human Resource Department enrolls employees, retirees and survivors in insurance plans offered by the city and authorizes all deductions and insurance premium changes.  For retired city employees, Human Resources is located at City Hall, in room 204 (781-393- 2406).  For retired school employees, Human Resources is located at 489 Winthrop Street (781-393-2200).

All insurance changes must be submitted to the Retirement office before the 15th of the month to ensure changes happen within the month’s payroll.  (Example: November premiums - the application must be in the Retirement office prior to October 15th).
