Medicare Benefit Reimbursement Plan (MBRP)

MBRP is a Medicare reimbursement plan reviewed by the Board of Retirement annually. Reimbursement of Medicare Part B is to qualified retired members only. The current monthly reimbursement amount for 2012 is $99.90. This is to cover their costs which are deducted from their Social security checks.

To qualify for MBRP, a retiree must:

• Have at least 10 years of ACERA service
• Provide proof of enrollment in Medicare Part B
• Complete and submit the the MBRP application (download the form or contact ACERA for application).

  This benefit is not available for dependents, nor will it reimburse dependent costs.

  NOTE: There is no contribution paid toward health plan premiums for a retiree with less than 10 years of service or for survivors, former spouses, or beneficiaries.
