There are few in every organization and in every group, trying to be "good" but in fact the effect is just opposite. But in my case on retirement in 2000 from American Airlines, I did not have any problems at all. They methodically did everything without putting forward for any claims. They never wanted my ID to surrender, which is an entry pass to the premises, but once it is "deactivated" will be lifeless and cannot use it for entry. They automatically extended my actual date of retirement by adding my holidays/offs in-lieu by almost a month and paid my dues. They continued with their "medical plan" for me as a retiree till I reached 65 and when Medicare became my primary, AA medical plan became supplementary. My wife enjoyed their medical plan as a spouse of retiree until this year. We had a deductible amount up-front and then 80% borne by the plan and remaining 20% by us. But due to economic conditions, not in favor for the big organizations, they discontinued that plan this year, for those eligible for "Social Security" and "Medicare eligibility" reached i.e. 65yrs. Since she reached that in Dec 2009, she is now protected with medicare, but have to "buy" "medigap" insurance offered by different companies, since Medicare pay only 80 percent of the usual costs including hospital charges and we have to pay the balance if we do not have additional supplementary insurance. This may be a bit complicated to understand, but the net result we are well protected and we have no "additional" worries. Hence I am not posting this comments to the blog. But even here also there are others who are still fighting for their "rights" and I am not sure what is the fight for?<br />Trust you and your family are fine<br />Take care<br />ChandrettanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
