Changes to Contribution Allowance for Retiree Health Coverage
For all participants who are eligible for retiree coverage and enter the retiree health plan on or after January 1, 2018,
the previous maximum of 30 total service credits will not apply. The total number of potential service credits will now
be unlimited. These credits are used to calculate your contribution allowance which reduces your self-pay premium when
you retire. Elimination of the 30 total service credit cap for those who retire on or after January 1, 2018 may give
rise to situations where a participant’s contribution allowance exceeds their self-pay premium rate. In that situation,
those participants will not have a monthly premium due, however in no event will a retiree receive additional credit for
unused or excess contribution allowances.
In addition, Bargaining Premium participants who enter the retiree health plan on or after January 1, 2018,
will be credited with 1.2 service credits for each calendar year he or she was covered by the Health and Welfare Fund.
Please see the example of both these changes in the Summary of Material Modification.

Medicare Part B Enrollment Reminder.
The transition from active employment to retired status can present challenges. One of these
challenges is deciding when to enroll for Medicare Part B coverage.
This notice is intended to assist participants as they transition from an active employee covered by the 49ers
Plan, to an early retiree covered under the Retiree portion of that Plan, and finally, to a Medicare enrollee also
covered by a supplemental plan offered through the 49ers Plan. The notice serves as a reminder of the
requirements of the Plan, as well as Medicare, during this transition process.
In general, you should enroll in Medicare Part B when you are first entitled to do so. Click here for more information.
The Medicare Part B Enrollment also applies to those participants who are on Medicare due to a disability.
