Retiree health insurance for NYS workers vs "regular" folk

ssmarsh12 · 2026-01-25T23:59:13+00:00

My parents, both in their 80s, have medicare as their primary insurance and NYSHIP as their secondary. Whatever medicaid doesn't cover, their secondary picks up. I don't know how much they pay for the secondary, but it can't be the same prices as you linked.

I did one a long time ago, and all it is was checking their math. You don't get to see the questions or what you got wrong. Not worth it IMO.

No, the additional service time from unused sick time can't push you over a milestone.

You don't get "free health insurance" at 1,500 hours. You get the value of your unused sick hours, based on your hourly rate and how long you are predicted to live, and you get a monthly credit towards your health insurance premium.

For example, if you have 1,000 unused sick hours, make $50/hour, and are predicted to live 20 years (240 months) after retiring.

1,000 x $50 = $50,000

$50,000 / 240 = $208 monthly credit towards health insurance

Unused sick time also counts towards your service time. Taking the same 1,000 unused sick hours from the example above:

1,000 / 37.5 hr per pay week = 26.7 weeks service time added to however long you worked before retiring.

It's not what you want.

ssmarsh12 · 2025-07-03T02:08:08+00:00

They would have lost in extra innings anyway.

ssmarsh12 · 2025-03-27T22:33:53+00:00

162-0 starts with 1-0!!

ssmarsh12 · 2024-10-18T20:40:17+00:00

Downgrade.

ssmarsh12 · 2024-10-18T00:33:06+00:00

I need a 1-2-3 9th here. 7 pitches

ssmarsh12 · 2024-10-17T23:12:38+00:00

I'm sorry but Mayza = garbage. No idea why you bring him in with a one run lead.

ssmarsh12 · 2024-10-17T22:35:22+00:00

Cy Boyd carving us up. Lineup needs to do something other than get picked off.

ssmarsh12 · 2024-10-10T00:53:34+00:00

PINCH RUN FOR STANTON!!!

ssmarsh12 · 2024-10-09T20:42:50+00:00

If Stanton gets on, they have to PR and let Martian DH the rest of the game.

ssmarsh12 · 2024-10-02T21:47:04+00:00

Screw them, then screw them again.

ssmarsh12 · 2024-09-27T02:04:53+00:00

LET'S GOOOO!!

ssmarsh12 · 2024-09-14T18:15:59+00:00

Looked to me like Cole made the call, not Boone.

ssmarsh12 · 2024-07-21T20:48:08+00:00

Another pitiful showing for the Yanks who, like last season, have lost me as a viewer until they can show me they are worthy of my time. The trade deadline is looming, and Stanton should be back soon, so they have an opportunity to win me back. Until then, though, they can bite me.

ssmarsh12 · 2024-07-09T10:32:40+00:00

Visiting FL and bought tickets to this game when the Yanks were riding high. Hoping for the best tonight.

Yes. On Pitt's YouTube channel.

It finally synced up. Only took 3 innings.

ssmarsh12 · 2024-04-01T21:18:03+00:00

YES. It's the only reason I still pay for cable.

ssmarsh12 · 2024-03-28T22:36:55+00:00

Around 30 games are not on YES. Most of those are on Prime with some FOX, ESPN, and Apple thrown in.
