Chery Streberger and I discussed the Retiree Health Benefit changes MOU (dated July 9, 2020) with Jan Winters (State Personnel Director) and Bethany Beauchine (Director, Bureau of Benefit Administration). After discussion and having our questions/concerns addressed we agree/understand the changes outlined in the MOU. The MOU was approved by the Civil Service Commission on July 13, 2020. We will discuss this at the SERA CC meeting (conference call) on August 7, 2020.
