I’m retired so HR shouldn’t still be part of my life but the are.
1. Before i retired about 2 years ago I asked HR what would my medical cost. I got couple some answers that didn’t make sense. Finally I sent a letter to the head of HR and they put me in touch with their best. She quoted $1,953 when i retired it actually was $2,700. Inflation. Thank god I only have to pay it for 6 months.
2. 1/31/2019 the last day of my employment coverage of medical changed from normal employee to retiree paying for same coverage. DS- A.K.A “Cool Hand” is sick and needs to see emergency care at college. When they provider calls the insurance company they say we don’t have coverage. Son goes home and tuffs it out.. I call- eventually they apologize I actually talk to the person that declined the service ..he apologizes.
I must say i was pretty angry ...
3. Today I get a letter saying the wife and son are covered and as I am Medicaid eligible I am not covered. Except i am 64.5 and am not eligible. I have a couple of medical issues and feel quite vulnerable. I call after 15 minutes -she (HR) cant explain it. “Don’t worry you are covered.” I am thinking certified letter to the head of HR.
HR still has my pension fund and should pay me around 4/1/2019. It is a significant sum. The money must move directly to my brokerage 401k or a taxable event will be triggered. Can’t they get it right? The unit I worked for multiple mistakes like that aren’t tolerated. There are processes in place to make sure they do not happen.
We are all human and make mistakes but some things are too important for screw ups...
