Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Retiree Health Care question - would appreciate thoughts

Current management retiree receiving the $4,200 annual stipend.

Question 1- I have still not received official notification that the $4,200 option is ending effective 1-1-24 although I have seen a lot of commentary that indeed that is the case. Has anyone to date actually received that notification and then an information package regarding the alternative?

Question 2- I currently have an Advantage plan that includes a $2,000 annual reimbursement for dental expenses for both me and my spouse. My understanding is that the AT&T replacement plan has a $1,000 annual premium for the spouse plus no dental coverage (need to purchase separately). Is that correct? if your family is in good health has anyone considered just keeping their Medicare Advantage plan and just dumping AT&T health care coverage because of its lack of dental coverage plus not having to pay the $1,000 spouse premium even though there is a higher annual maximum for the Advantage plan?

HRA ends this year. Next year AT&T Advantage will include dental and vision although they have not issued details of exactly what will be covered. Not sure what you are referring to about $1000 premium for spouse. Next year there will be no premium for spouse on the AT&T Advantage . It does have a maximum $900 out of pocket. You may want to sign up for one of their webinars that provide details of the plan and allows for Q&A at the end.

Affirmative, 2023 is last year of contributions. Any remaining balances will be made available to use through 2024. Letters sent should have received one. Facebook ATT retiree site has all the detailed under files.

Previous poster is just rude. You may have better luck by going to the Facebook AT&T retiree page and posing the same questions. Should be able to copy and paste.
