Retiree Health

The City of Albany is committed to providing our retirees with comprehensive benefit packages. 

Outside of November's Open Enrollment, employee benefits may only be updated if you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE). Common QLE’s include: birth or adoption of a child, loss of coverage marriage, divorce, domestic partnership, dissolution of domestic partnership, and over age dependents. Proper supporting documentation must be submitted to the Office of Human Resources within 30 days of a QLE. 

Plan changes and rates for 2025 are linked below or are available in the Human Resources Office.
