re: City of Hollywood Retiree Open Enrollment Information Packet - REVISED

October 29, 2019

Good news!  As a retiree of the City of Hollywood, you recently received a packet of information regarding 2020 Open Enrollment in early October.  After the packet was released, the City management has decided to lower the OAPIN medical premium rates for retirees and their dependents in the following classification for 2020:

“Retired Non-Represented (Sr. Exec/Exec/Mgmt/Conf/Tech): Hired prior to 10-01-2002”

“Retired Non-Represented (Sr. Exec/Exec/Mgmt/Conf/Tech): Hired after 10-01-2002 and prior to 4.06.2016”

Please note that the OAP rates for this classification will remain the same as what was originally stated.  For most classes, contributions are based on agreed upon contracts, for others, the City has discretion.  Please refer to the new rates below and the revised rate sheets included in this mailing.
