Re: Payment of insurance premiums
of retired erilees.You inquire whether your respective agencies have statutory authority
to pay the full cost of group life and health insurance premiums for former
employees retired under the Teacher Retirement Act. You direct our
attention to article 3.51-5, enacted in 1975, which provides in part:
The costs of group life and health insurance pre-
miums to persons retired under the Teacher Retire-
ment Act, who at the time of their retirement were
employed by the Texas Central Education Agency, the
Texas Rehabilitation Commission . . .shall be fully
paid from the funds of such agency ...
Ins. Code art. 3.51-5(a); Acts 1975, 64th Leg., ch. 408, at 1062.
Article 3.51-5 of the Insurance Code must be read together with other
legislation on insurance for retired employees. Article 3.50-2 of the
Insurance Code provides for life, accident and health insurance for State
employees. "Employee" includes
an employee who is retired or retires and is an
annuitant under the jurisdiction of the Teacher Retire-
ment Sytem of Texas... whose last employment with
the state prior to retirement was or is as an employee
of . . . the Texas Rehabilitation Commission, the
Central Education Agency ....p. 4558
