Analysis
This ordinance clarifies that for the purposes of health benefits a retiree is a person receiving a service retirement allowance under s. 36-05-1, an ordinary disability retirement allowance under s. 36-05-2, a duty disability retirement allowance under s. 36-05-3, an immediate allowance under s. 36-05-6-c, or a deferred retirement allowance under s. 36-05-6-d-2. Persons receiving a duty disability retirement allowance under s. 36-05-3 are not required to have 15 years of creditable service at the time of separation. The ordinance also clarifies that retirees are eligible for health benefits if they separate voluntarily with at least 15 years of creditable service, as defined under s. 36-04, with the city, the housing authority of the city of Milwaukee or the redevelopment authority of the city of Milwaukee, and have been enrolled since the date of retirement in any health plan without lapse of coverage. In addition, clarifications are made to premium payment language.
