CCPOA Dental Plan: Retired Members can keep their dental!

Now you can have the same dental (and dentist) you had as an Active member!

Because the plan is brand new, and was given approval so close to the 2027 Open Enrollment date, enrollment is not automatic. Roll-over should become automatic by 2028

TWO EASY STEPS:

• Fill out the enrollment form and return to the Trust. 
• If you are Retired and are currently enrolled through CalPERS, you must cancel your CalPERS plan to avoid double billing.

The CCPOA Dental plan rates have no State contribution at this time. Please see the application for rates.

Can I continue my CCPOA Dental as a Retired Member?
YES. You can choose CCPOA Dental plan when your Retire, or during Open Enrollment

Can I add or drop family members?
Yes. You can do so when you initially enroll, during the annual open enrollment period, and within 60 days from the date a change in your family occurs (marriage, divorce, new baby). To make changes to your dental program once you are retired, contact CalPERS.

Currently Retired State Employees

If you are a retired State employee, you are eligible to continue enrollment in the State’s Dental Program if you retired within 120 days after your date of separation and you receive a retirement allowance from CalPERS. If you are enrolled in a State-sponsored dental plan, your personnel office will automatically submit the STD. 692 to CalPERS to continue your dental enrollment into retirement.

Retired employees who did not continue dental coverage into retirement may enroll during the annual dental open enrollment period.
