The city of Clearwater values its retirees and their hard work and dedication throughout the years. Information and resources that you might need after retiring from the city are included here.

City retirees have the option of enrolling in the city's medical, dental, and other benefit plans at the time they retire only. Retirees who do not maintain health insurance coverage directly from active employment or at the time they meet the criteria to receive a pension benefit, or those who maintain health insurance coverage and drop it at a later date, are not permitted to re-enroll in the City's group health insurance plan.

Attention Retirees with Health Insurance: Rick Crean is the retiree representative on the city’s Benefits Committee. Rick’s role is to assist other committee members and administrators in making prudent decisions involving employee and retiree health benefits each year.

Rick is encouraging all retirees to reach out to him and provide your email address so he can keep you better informed with benefit changes or other pertinent information regarding your benefits as a retiree. Rick’s email address is rick.crean@yahoo.com.
