Retirement Benefits

Clackamas Community College is a Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) employer and contributes 6% of employee’s earnings.  The employees of CCC cannot contribute additional money to this account.

If an employee is eligible for PERS retirement and has 12 years of service and hired prior to July 1, 2011 in a full-time position at CCC, the following benefits will be offered:

• Potential monthly stipend. (Details available in the Human Resource Office).
• Health and Dental Insurance Benefits - CCC provides medical and dental insurance coverage for retirees and their dependents until the retiree reaches age 65, which is subject upon approval of the carrier and/or stipluated in Collective Bargaining Agreements. CCC's benefit package amount is limited to two part coverage. Per OEBB's Division 50 rule (111-050-0015) states:

  (1) A retiree enrolled in OEBB retiree insurance plan that becomes eligible for Medicare coverage may not continue on an OEBB medical or vision plan, unless they are eligible as a result of end-stage renal disease. OEBB benefits end the last day of the month prior to the Medicare effective date. The retiree is responsible for reporting to their Educational Entity and to OEBB when the retiree is covered by Medicare within 31 days after the Medicare coverage effective date. Failure to report within this timeframe may be considered intentional misrepresentation by OEBB and OEBB may rescind OEBB coverage back to the last day of the month prior to the Medicare effective date.

  Here is the link to the full OAR

• If a retire falls under the OEBB rule noted above and hasn't reached age 65, CCC will continue to carry the Life Insurance as stipluated below; also, the retiree may continue the dental coverage if so selected until age 65.
