2026 USG Retiree Healthcare Rates hired on or after January 1, 2013

Current USG retirees who retired prior to January 1, 2023, are not subject to the USG Years of Service policy. The USG healthcare contribution is determined annually and approved by the board. USG will share a percentage of employee and employer costs.

  • Pre-65 Healthcare Rates

    For employees hired on or after January 1, 2013, who retire on or after January 1, 2023, the employer contribution will be prorated based on your Years of Service with USG or the State of Georgia. 

    To calculate your contribution, follow these steps or use the retiree healthcare contribution calculator:

    1. Calculate your years of service and find the applicable percentage on the Years of Service Chart above
    2. Based on the healthcare plan that you are currently enrolled in, take the monthly employer rate listed below
    3. Multiply the employer contribution percentage x the monthly employer rate
