If you met the minimum criteria to continue group health coverage when your employment terminated and you retired, you may apply for the state’s group health plan through a special enrollment provision if you lose other creditable health coverage and still meet the plan eligibility rules. You can find information about special enrollment in the Retirement Insurance Eligibility Guides on the Partners for Health publications page at https://www.tn.gov/partnersforhealth/publications/publications.html.
If I do not continue group health coverage when I retire because I will have coverage through my spouse, can I apply for coverage later?
