If You Retire Before Age 65
If you are age 55 to age 65 when you retire, you may continue your Dental Plan coverage until you reach age 65, provided you have at least 10 consecutive years of service after age 45 at the time you retire.

The cost of your continued coverage will be shared by you and the University. Contact the Benefits Section of the Office of Human Resources to arrange for this coverage.

If You Retire at Age 65 or Older
If you retire on or after age 65 and your enrolled spouse has not yet reached age 65, you may continue your spouse's Dental Plan coverage until he or she reaches age 65, provided you have at least 10 years of service after your 45th birthday and you are still enrolled in the Boston University Dental Plan for family coverage at your retirement.

The cost of your spouse's coverage will be shared by you and the University. Contact the Benefits Section of the Office of Human Resources to arrange for this coverage.
