San Joaquin County Employees’ Retirement Association

If you are retired, enrolled in Medicare Part B and have a balance in your sick leave bank, you may qualify for reimbursement of your Medicare Part B premiums.  Read SJCERA’s Medicare Part B Reimbursement fact sheet and other useful information on the Retired Members page. If you’re eligible for the program, submit your Medicare Part B Reimbursement Form with a copy of your annual Social Security notice indicating your Medicare Part B premium by January 3. Forms received after January 3 will receive reimbursement prospectively.

What happens to your retirement if an illness (or injury) prevents you from making decisions?

The SJCERA Special Power of Attorney (POA) form is specifically designed for SJCERA members and helps to provide peace of mind should you become unable to act on your own behalf. The person you designate will be able to conduct SJCERA business on your behalf. You choose which duties they will be  allowed to perform, such as filing a retirement application, making a benefit election or designating beneficiaries. 

We hope you never need it, but just in case, be prepared: Complete the Special Power of Attorney form and send it to SJCERA.
