Paid insurance premiums for parish clerk retirees

Lincoln and Lafourche Parish clerks’ offices must pay 100% of covered insurance premiums for eligible retired clerks and employees. Each office pays from its own clerk’s salary fund. Retirees must be at least 55 and have at least 20 years of full-time service with that office. They must have been covered employees, retire from active employment with that office, and choose to keep coverage. Monthly benefits from the Louisiana Clerks’ of Court Retirement and Relief Fund must begin immediately upon retirement. Covered group insurance includes life, accidental death and dismemberment, health, accident, dental, hospital, surgical, and other medical expense insurance. Supplemental insurance and other insurance employees choose to buy are excluded.
