55+ Healthcare Update Any member between the ages of 55 and 59 who is planning to retire in 2014, while taking advantage of the premium-free healthcare benefit, must submit an electronic PAR form by October 1, 2013. At least one hundred (100) eligible applicants must apply by October 1, 2013 for this benefit to take effect. The Lodge has been notified that only thirty-seven (37) eligible applicants have applied to retire in 2014 thus far. We still need sixty-three (63) Officers to apply. The Lodge receives many calls from potential retirees who are concerned about whether the minimum number of one-hundred applications will be met. Officers, if you plan on retiring in 2014 submit your applications now. You will keep yourselves, and your fellow Officers, from worrying about whether we will reach the minimum number required.
