Filing Claims for Medical Benefits and Coverage

Minimum
Required Distribution - Will we out live it?
That
is the leading question on the front page of the
October 8, 2007 BREA Newsletter.
Elliot
Auerbach addressed this question at the request of the BREA Board; in
addition
to the article he has provided an Excel
spread sheet which can be downloaded, allowing one to modify the
computation using differing assumptions about earnings, future
inflation
rates, etc.
Medical Screening Program
BNL management has informed BREA of a
medical screening
program which has as its stated goal is to “provide
a free medical screening to construction workers who helped to build
our
nation's nuclear defense sites”. Click
here for more information.
Medicare Prescription Drug Program
Many
people have been confused about the new Medicare Part D Prescription
Drug plan
and their current coverage from BSA/BNL. Human Resources
strongly recommends that retirees NOT enroll in a Part D plan. An
ad-hoc
committee from BREA consisting of Barney MacAlary
and Eliott
Auerbach have been looking into this and agree with HR.

notice from BNL about your

Please note that the Benefits Office states that recipients should save
this
notice as it might be needed if you change plans. It is intended
to
retain a copy on this web site.
