If a member is an active employee and his or her spouse turns 65, is the spouse eligible to stay on the OEBB active plans?
Yes. If a member is actively working (not a retiree) and either the member or his or her spouse turn 65, both are eligible to stay on the active OEBB plans. In this scenario, OEBB coverage would be primary over any Medicare coverage (unless End Stage Renal Disease is applicable, in which case Medicare would be primary after 30 months of eligibility or entitlement to Medicare).
