I ordered over the counter stuff for my Mom this morning thru GM UAW OTC program. Seems they give retirees or their spouses an account to spend for medicine.

    We get a couple of $50 prepaid cards from Blue Cross. Not sure how often because I let the boss handle them. Bob

    when I retired (or left my old place of employment ) the company had put together a package to help get us out the door LOL

    part of a one time offer was they would give any one who took the deal a I think its 10k medical account for us to use for any medical procedure bill , or visit , prescription's . and so on . we just have to send them the receipt where we paid and they will repay us up to the limit of course . not like having a open end program but better than most

    select-fire, she has free legal help too. I retired 06/1992 and my free medical was taken away a few years later. GM gave us a permanent increase in our monthly pension though. In 92 GM wanted to get rid of 30,000 salaried employees. You had to have 20+ years in and be 52 years old in calendar 92. I was just 51 when I left. My manager couldn't believe it! They boosted our monthly pension plus gave us our social security. The SS was taken away when I turned 62 so if I applied my monthly income would be the same. I had the best job of my life starting in 94 so didn't apply until full retirement age without penalty. I retired again in 2012 and formed an s-corp. I'll probably work until they carry me away.

    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    Mom still draws Dads pension from 1978 and his benefits.
