GM hourly retirees have the opportunity to sign up for dental benefits from Delta Dental that are identical to the benefits they had before they retired.
The cost is $33.45 per month and it’s retroactive back to Aug. 1, 2009.
The problem is that apparently very few of the GM retirees are aware that they have been offered this insurance.
The deadline for this enrollment is Feb. 9. It will not be offered again.
If the retiree, their spouse and/or dependent children have incurred any expense for dental treatment since the date coverage was cancelled and re-enrollment (signing up before Feb. 9), then they can be reimbursed for those expenses through Delta Dental.
Anyone who qualifies should call their dentist or the GM Benefits and Services Center at 1-800-489-4646.
