LACERS - Your Dental Plan Premium Subsidy

Your Dental Plan Premium Subsidy

A dental plan premium subsidy is provided to eligible LACERS retirees to apply toward the cost of their monthly dental plan premium.

Subsidy Eligibility

You are eligible for a dental premium subsidy if you:

Are retired
Are age 55 or older
Have at least 10 years of Service (part-time Members whose LACERS Membership date is after April 22, 1990 receive 4% of the maximum dental subsidy for each whole year of Service Credit) and
Are enrolled in a LACERS-sponsored dental plan

How Your Dental Subsidy Is Determined

Your dental premium subsidy is equal to 4% of the maximum dental subsidy for dental benefits for each whole year of Service (part-time Members whose LACERS Membership date is after April 22, 1990 receive 4% of the maximum dental subsidy for each whole year of Service Credit), but no more than your actual single-party dental plan premium.

Only LACERS Retired Members are eligible to receive a Dental Plan Premium Subsidy.

Eligible Surviving Spouse/Domestic Partners

Eligible Surviving Spouses/Domestic Partners are not entitled to a dental subsidy. However, they may enroll in a LACERS dental plan and have the premium deducted from their monthly allowance.
