Many retirees assume the benefits they had while working will follow them into retirement, but that’s not always the case. Employer-provided Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEBs), such as health coverage and life insurance, are disappearing quietly across the country. The truth is, most retirees lose their employer OPEBs without realizing it until they need them most. By understanding how these benefits work and whether they’re still available, you can avoid financial surprises in retirement. Checking now could save you thousands of dollars and ensure you’re prepared for the future.
