Health Insurance Options for Pre-Medicare Spouses
Dear Savvy Senior,My wife, who’s 60, is on my health insurance plan
through my employer. When I retire in a few months at65, and go on Medicare, what happens to her? Do wehave to purchase private insurance, or is there somekind of Medicare coverage for dependent spouses?
Nearly RetiredDear Nearly,Unfortunately for you and millions of other couples in
your position, Medicare does not provide family coverageto younger spouses or dependent children when you quali-fy for Medicare. Nobody can obtain Medicare benefitsbefore age 65, unless eligible at a younger age because ofdisability. With that said, here are some options for yourwife depending on your situation.
Work longer: If possible, you should consider workingpast age 65 so your wife can continue coverage under youremployer health insurance until she becomes eligible forMedicare, or, if that’s too long, at least for a few moreyears.
Check employer options: If your employer providesretiree health benefits, check with the benefits administratorto find out if they offer any options that would allow yourwife to continue coverage under their plan. Or, if your wifeworks, see if she can she switch to health insurance pro-vided by her own employer.
Use COBRA: If you work for a company that has 20 ormore employees, once you make the switch to Medicare,your wife could stay with your company insurance plan forat least 18 months (but could last up to 36 months) under afederal law called COBRA. You’ll need to sign her up within60 days after her last day of coverage. You also need toknow that COBRA is not cheap. You’ll pay the full monthlypremium yourself, plus a 2 percent administrative fee.
The other benefit of using COBRA is that once it expires,your wife will then become eligible for HIPAA (HealthInsurance Portability and Accountability Act), which givesher right to buy an individual health insurance policy from aprivate insurer that can’t exclude or limit coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. To learn more about COBRA,visit askebsa.dol.gov or call 866-444-3272.
If, however, the company you worked for had fewer than20 employees, you may still be able to get continued cov-erage through your company if your state has “Mini-COBRA” (39 states offer it). Contact your state insurancedepartment (see naic.org) to see if this is available whereyou live.
Buy an individual policy: This is health insurance youbuy on your own, but it too can be expensive depending onyour wife’s health history. Any pre-existing condition suchas heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc., can drasticallyincrease her premiums or can nix her chances of beingaccepted at all. To search for policy options and costs goto healthcare.gov. If you need help, contact a licensedindependent insurance agent. See www.nahu.org/con-sumer/findagent.cfm to locate one near you.
Or, if you only need health coverage for a short period oftime – less than 12 months – a short-term policy is anotherlower-cost option to consider. You can get quotes and cov-erage details at ehealthinsurance.com.
Get high-risk coverage: If you can’t purchase an indi-vidual health policy for your wife because of a pre-existingmedical condition, you can still get coverage through astate or federal high-risk pool.
State pools, which are offered in 35 states (seenaschip.org), provide health insurance to any resident whois uninsurable because of health problems. While costsvary by state, premiums run about 150 percent of what anindividual policy costs.
Or, consider the federal Pre-Existing ConditionsInsurance Plan (see pcip.gov) which is available nationwide.Created in 2010 under the health care reform law, this pro-gram is intended to bridge the gap until better optionsbecome available in 2014 when the main provisions of thelaw go into effect. To qualify, your wife must be uninsuredfor six months before applying.

First Alliance Credit Union recognized for exemplary workplace practices
First Alliance Credit Union has been honored with the2012 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Excellence in WorkplaceEffectiveness and Flexibility for its use of flexibility as aneffective workplace strategy to increase business and employ-ee success. It is the fourth time First Alliance Credit Unionhas received the award.
This prestigious award, part of the national When WorkWorks project, recognizes employers of all sizes and types inthe region and across the country.
“We are pleased to receive this award in recognition of ourongoing commitment to providing a workplace that is accom-modating to staff in both their personal and professionallives” said Kelly McDonough, CEO of First Alliance CreditUnion. “Our steadfast pursuit of creating an environment tofulfill our members’ needs during these unpredictable eco-nomic times is essential to providing exceptional service forour members.”
This is the second such award for workplace environmentFirst Alliance Credit Union has received in 2012. In May,First Alliance was recognized by Workforce Development,Inc. as one of the best places to work in Southeast Minnesota.First Alliance was honored for its unique employee benefitsprogram, corporate culture and commitment to workplaceflexibility.
Workplace flexibility — such as flextime, part-time workand compressed workweeks — has been demonstrated to helpbusinesses remain competitive while also benefiting employ-ees.
“Our research consistently finds that employees in effec-tive and flexible workplaces have greater engagement on thejob and greater desire to stay with their organization. In addi-tion, they report lower stress levels and better overall health,”said Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute,which administers the awards with the Society for HumanResource Management.
The Sloan Awards are unique for their rigorous, two-stepselection process, which involves an evaluation of employers’flexibility programs and practices, and a confidential employ-ee survey. All applicants are measured against national normsfrom the National Study of Employers.
“As a recipient of the 2012 Sloan Award, First AllianceCredit Union ranks in the top 20% of employers nationally interms of its programs, policies and culture for creating aneffective and flexible workplace,” Galinsky said. “In addition,what makes this honor so special is that their employees havecorroborated this, affirming that it is indeed an effective andflexible workplace.”
First Alliance Credit Union will be recognized as a 2012Sloan Award recipient at an upcoming Annual MemberCelebration hosted by the Rochester Area Chamber ofCommerce. For details, please contact Jessi Strinmoen, 507-424-5687 or [email protected].

County recorder Sue Alberts supports position appointmentn By Randy Carlsen, Editor & Publisher
When Sue Alberts ran forcounty recorder 17 yearsago there were five individ-uals who ran for the posi-tion. Carole Burton retiredso the position was wideopen.
Sue was one of two tomake it to the general elec-tion. She had 12 years expe-rience in the office. Heropponent had no experiencein the position. Sue waselected and has worked atotal of 29 years in theoffice. On August 31, 2012she will retire.
The Dodge CountyBoard of Commissionershave decided to let countyresidents vote in the primaryelection Tuesday, August 14on whether the position ofcounty recorder should beelected or appointed by com-missioners. The position iselected every four years.
Alberts is a strong supporter of having the positionappointed by the county board because there is always thatone big, what if.....someone were elected who had no experi-ence in the position. "There are no requirements other thanbeing of voting age and paying the $50," said Alberts.
With Sue Alberts retiring and no other interest within theoffice for the position there is the possibility of an inexperi-enced person being elected into office. "If people really careenough to have a well qualified person in office the positionshould be appointed," said Alberts.
Alberts points out that a person in this position shouldhave a basic knowledge of legal and real estate descriptions.Insuring the accuracy of recording documents is importantand the office periodically has to resolve boundary disputes.The recorder also helps with the process of establishing gov-ernment corners in the county and supporting the pictometryprogram.
County administrator Jim Elmquist points out there arealways new state and federal regulations the recorder mustkeep up with. "Some things you can learn on the job, such asissuing driving licenses, but for the most part the recorderneeds to have a diverse background in the position," addedAlberts. Also, "The recorder needs to be the person incharge."
If the position is appointed commissioners can set guide-lines and develop expectations when hiring the recorder. "Ithink this way we get the best person to take over the posi-tion," said Elmquist.
Kittson and Yellow Medicine are the two most recentcounties to go with making the position of recorder appoint-ed. There are 24 in the state that have done so, includingGoodhue, Steele and Olmsted in this area.
"The people of Dodge County deserve the best person forthe job," said Alberts. "Appointing the position is the best wayto ensure that." All of the Dodge County Commissioners arealso in full support of the position being appointed.
Pam Holzer who works in the county recorder officer has a question for recorderSue Alberts. Sue and the commissioners believe if county residents vote the positionto be appointed the people will have the best person for the job.
