SUMMARY: The Early Retiree Reinsurance Program was established by Section 1102 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act). Congress has appropriated funding of $5 billion for this temporary program, which ends no later than January 1, 2014. The program provides reimbursement to participating employment-based health plans for a portion of the cost of health benefits for early retirees and their spouses (aged 55 – 64). Applications will be subject to approval by HHS. It is anticipated that the reimbursements to the County’s self-insured health plan, if the County is accepted into the program, could range from $200,000 - $350,000. The delegation from the County Administrator to the Director of Risk Management will be requested for the purpose of submitting the application within the brief timeframe that is available under the program. The Application must be submitted and approved before reimbursements under the program can be received. Countywide (TKF)
