Report Link EEOC Issues Final Rule Permitting Coordination of Retiree Health Plans with Medicare.Jackson Lewis LLP - January 02, 2008 In a move welcomed by many employers and labor unions, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency responsible for administering the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"), issued a final rule, effective December 26, 2007, that exempts from ADEA protection the common employer practice of coordinating retiree health benefits with eligibility for Medicare (see 29 CFR § 1625.32). Under the new rule, employers are free to reduce or eliminate retiree health benefits when retirees become eligible for Medicare (or a comparable state-sponsored health benefit), without any ADEA liability.
