IF RETIRED MEMBER DIES, THE SURVIVING SPOUSE MAY REMAIN IN THE HEALTH PLAN
A question raised by an out-of-town member was put to Mr. Skinner and Mr. Mousseau at the Fall General Meeting. The question was whether, in a case where a member of the Pension Plan dies, the surviving spouse is entitled to remain a member of the health benefit plan of the retirees. The answer was yes. Nevertheless, the executive of the Association has requested written reassurance from the from the University that this is indeed the case.
