Pensioners Dental Services Plan: New Premium Rule
I recieved in the mail yesterday a Communique about the new premiums that are coming into effect on 1 October 2010. At the bottom of the new table there was a note about Veterans so I called the Pension Office.
Apparently since April 2006 Veterans covered for dental by Veterans Affairs DO NOT HAVE TO PAY A MONTHLY PREMIUM FOR THEMSELVES WITH SUNLIFE!
In other words if you have just a spouse with no kids instead of paying a $31.96 monthly premium you only have to pay the $16.00 monthly premium for your spouse.
If you have a spouse and a child instead of $47.96 your premium will be $31.96.
A spouse and two children will be $47.96.
To see if you qualify call VAC 1-866-522-2122 and verify that you are covered for dental with VAC. Then call the Pension Office 1-800-267-0350 give them your K number and they will adjust your monthly premium.
If you have not been claiming your yearly premiums (PDSP, PSHCP) on your medical portion of your yearly federal taxes; while you have the Pension Office on the phone ask them for a statement of premium payments for the last 7 years and you can claim it on your 2010 federal tax return (under medical expenses).
Just thought I would pass this information on for those who did not know about this. Every penny counts with some of us vets!
