Review Your Options
If you are obtaining coverage outside of the county’s retiree program, and wish to cancel your coverage with the county, you must provide written notice. Your new insurer will not notify us.
Retirees receiving medical benefits through the Sheriff’s Office independent retiree medical trust (IRMT) should direct any questions and change requests for medical coverage to William C. Earhart Company at 503-460-5271.
If you have any questions, please contact us at benefits@clackamas.us. If you have more complex questions or need guided assistance, please schedule a Zoom appointment with one of our benefit team members through the online appointment scheduler.
As an eligible retiree, you have the opportunity to continue your group medical, dental and EAP insurance that was in effect at the time of retirement up to age 65 (or Medicare eligibility, whichever comes first). Retiring employees and retirees participating in the medical portion of the Clackamas County retiree benefit program who are Medicare eligible have the option of enrolling in one of the county’s group Medicare advantage plans.

Provide Written Notice to Your Supervisor
When you have decided on a retirement date with Clackamas County, which would be the final day you are at work, you will need to provide written notice to your supervisor. Clackamas County does not currently have requirements regarding the timing of your written notice. However, ample advanced notice will likely ensure a smoother transition to retirement. Clackamas CountyHR recommends 60 days or more advance notice.
Your written notice should indicate your final day of work for the county and specify that you are “retiring.” Your supervisor will work with your department to produce a Personnel Action form, which is distributed to all of the appropriate departments.
Receive your Retiree Packet and Make Your Choices
When your Personnel Action form reaches HR-Benefits and Wellness, you will be mailed a retiree benefit packet to your home address. In the packet, you will find information about your benefit election options through the county’s retiree benefit program, plan comparisons, a rate sheet, your retiree benefit election form, auto pay enrollment form and materials regarding the continuation of your other optional benefits.
Please be sure to review the information in this packet carefully and contact the HR Benefits and Wellness Division if you have any questions.
Return your Completed Paperwork to HR
Your completed enrollment form, auto pay enrollment form (if applicable) and Medicare advantage enrollment form (if applicable) should be delivered or sent to:
Clackamas County Benefits

All of the necessary enrollment forms are due to Clackamas County HR within 60 days from:
- The date of the County’s letter notifying you of your right to continue coverage
- The date the County-provided health coverage ends
However, if you are enrolling in one of the Medicare advantage plans, then all of the necessary enrollment forms are due to Clackamas County HR no later than the calendar month of your retirement. The Clackamas County Benefits and Wellness division does not provide a confirmation that paperwork has been received.

If you are obtaining coverage outside of the county’s COBRA program, and wish to cancel your coverage with the county, you must provide written notice. Your new insurer will not notify us.
COBRA Participants receiving medical benefits through the Sheriff’s Office independent retiree medical trust (IRMT) should direct any questions and change requests for medical coverage to William C. Earhart Company at 503-460-5271.
If you have any questions, please contact us at benefits@clackamas.us. If you have more complex questions or need guided assistance, please schedule a Zoom appointment with one of our benefit team members through the online appointment scheduler.
Health care coverage defined under COBRA includes medical, dental, employee assistance program (EAP), and the health care flexible spending account (FSA). If you do not select medical, dental, EAP or FSA coverage at your initial COBRA enrollment, you cannot add them later.
Qualified beneficiaries are eligible for the same coverage they had at the time they lost eligibility for coverage. COBRA coverage may be continued for up to 18, 24, 29 or 36 months, depending on the type of qualifying event. Please reference the COBRA handbook for more details.

Provide Written Notice to Your Supervisor
When you have decided on a retirement date with Clackamas County, which would be the final day you are at work, you will need to provide written notice to your supervisor. Clackamas County does not currently have requirements regarding the timing of your written notice. However, ample advanced notice will likely ensure a smoother transition to retirement. Clackamas CountyHR recommends 60 days or more advance notice.
Your written notice should indicate your final day of work for the county and specify that you are “retiring.” Your supervisor will work with your department to produce a Personnel Action form, which is distributed to all of the appropriate departments.
Receive your Retiree Packet and Make Your Choices
When your Personnel Action form reaches HR-Benefits and Wellness, you will be mailed a retiree benefit packet to your home address. In the packet, you will find information about your benefit election options through the county’s retiree benefit program, plan comparisons, a rate sheet, your retiree benefit election form, auto pay enrollment form and materials regarding the continuation of your other optional benefits.
Please be sure to review the information in this packet carefully and contact the HR Benefits and Wellness Division if you have any questions.
Return your Completed Paperwork to HR
Your completed enrollment form, auto pay enrollment form (if applicable) and Medicare advantage enrollment form (if applicable) should be delivered or sent to:

All of the necessary enrollment forms are due to Clackamas County HR within 60 days from:

- The date the County-provided health coverage ends
However, if you are enrolling in one of the Medicare advantage plans, then all of the necessary enrollment forms are due to Clackamas County HR no later than the calendar month of your retirement. The Clackamas County Benefits and Wellness division does not provide a confirmation that paperwork has been received.

You must make enrollment changes within 60 days from the event date in order to make changes outside of open enrollment.

As an eligible retiree, you have the opportunity to continue your group medical, dental and EAP insurance that was in effect at the time of retirement up to age 65 (or Medicare eligibility, whichever comes first). Retiring employees and retirees participating in the medical portion of the Clackamas County retiree benefit program who are Medicare eligible have the option of enrolling in one of the county’s group Medicare advantage plans.

Provide Written Notice to Your Supervisor
When you have decided on a retirement date with Clackamas County, which would be the final day you are at work, you will need to provide written notice to your supervisor. Clackamas County does not currently have requirements regarding the timing of your written notice. However, ample advanced notice will likely ensure a smoother transition to retirement. Clackamas CountyHR recommends 60 days or more advance notice.
Your written notice should indicate your final day of work for the county and specify that you are “retiring.” Your supervisor will work with your department to produce a Personnel Action form, which is distributed to all of the appropriate departments.
Receive your Retiree Packet and Make Your Choices
When your Personnel Action form reaches HR-Benefits and Wellness, you will be mailed a retiree benefit packet to your home address. In the packet, you will find information about your benefit election options through the county’s retiree benefit program, plan comparisons, a rate sheet, your retiree benefit election form, auto pay enrollment form and materials regarding the continuation of your other optional benefits.
Please be sure to review the information in this packet carefully and contact the HR Benefits and Wellness Division if you have any questions.
