Insurance - TRS or ERS???

bevmcmill02

I am retired ERS of TEXAS.  Get insurance and pay for my husband who will be 65 in October 2016.  I am now working at UT but didn't sign up for health insurance...leaving my insurance with current ERS.  Which should I use?  UT has Airrosti which I love.  ERS does not.  How to compare?  ERS doesn't know about TRS and TRS doesn't know about ERS.  I have visited and sent emails/letters.  

ERS seems to have cheaper payments once my husband hits 65.  I will retire before hitting 10 years at UT so will use ERS insurance for life (as I am currently doing).

Should I switch to my current employer?  Stay with ERS?  What about my husband?

    Hello, We cannot recommend which insurance plan you should take. You may wish to speak to the human resources departments for both plans that are available to you and have them explain their plans to you and then compare that information.

    If you are interested in an individual plan for your husband, one separate from the plans that are available to you, you can call our sales department at 855-604-1515 and they can explain the available plans and help you find one that best works for your husband's needs. ~ Kayla
