MEDICAL AND VISION COVERAGE

You are eligible to continue medical coverage directly with LEOFF Trust. Most recent retirees have opted to utilize LEOFF Trust ā€œPlan Bā€. It includes things like pharmacy co-pays, vision coverage and has a lower deductible than Plan H (HSA PLAN). You will need to complete a LEOFF Trust Enrollment form and a DRS deduction form and send them to either Jennifer or Riley.
