The City is not responsible for any deficits nor is it entitled to any surpluses of the GHA. The City does not significantly influence the operations of the GHA, and the GHA is not accountable to the City for its fiscal matters. G. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) Plan Description and Benefits Provided In addition to the pension benefits described in Note I, the City also provides postemployment benefits to retirees under a single employer plan (“The Plan”), provided they participate in the North Carolina Local Governmental Employees Retirement System (NCLGERS), and are actively employed with the City at the time of retirement. In order to receive any benefits, retirees must have achieved 20 years of active service with the City or have reached age 60 with 5 years of active service. Healthcare, prescription drug coverage, as well as retiree and dependent life insurance are provided in the City’s Plan. Health and prescription drug coverage ends once the retiree reaches age 65 or becomes Medicare eligible, whichever comes first. The City and retirees share the cost of healthcare, based on years of service at retirement. Approximately 74% is paid by the City for 30 years of service, with less subsidy provided for fewer years of service. Dental coverage is available at full cost to the retiree. Retirees may keep their dental insurance for life. Life insurance benefits of up to $20,000 are provided to retirees until age 65, except for those retirees who were hired before March 1, 1975 (receive $2,000 at age 65 for life). Dependent coverage for each of the benefits in the Plan is available, if enrolled at the time of the employee’s retirement, at full cost to the retiree, with the exception of certain life insurance coverage. In addition, if the retiree ceases to have coverage or dies, dependent coverage will terminate. The City Council may amend the benefit provisions with a resolution. The City has elected to partially pre-pay the future overall cost of coverage for these benefits by establishing a Trust arrangement according to General Statutes 159-30.1(b). Management of the plan is vested in three Trustees, the City Manager, the Director of Finance and the Director of Human Resources, appointed by the City Council. The plan which has a June 30, 2023 year end does not issue a standalone financial report and is included in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report as Other Postemployment Benefit Trust Fund.
