Re: [TSPStrategy] Off Topic: Dental Insurance in Retirement

Hmm, I don't think is subsidized as an employee either. I know my rates did not change when I retired but I pay monthly now instead of biweekly. GEHA Dental +1 standard plan for 2022 is about $46 per month. 

My Blue Vision +1 plan is about $15 per month, no change from being an employee.

I subscribe to a Federal Retiree Newsletter. There was a article concerning the fact that in retirement there is no government contribution for dental insurance- that the retiree pays the whole cost. I looked at my leave and earnings statement and see that I'm paying about $25 per pay period for Dental, I also have BC/BS for medical- under the What The Government Pays section there is only one figure listed under FEHB... it isn't split to show Health and Dental. Anyway. I have FEP BLUE Dental. May I assume $25 per pay period is not the total cost- that the Fed Gov is covering a portion of this. And will this entire cost be up to me when I retire?

Thanks!
