The City’s Records Show That Some City Retirees May Have Uncashed

Healthcare Premium Refund Checks.

Retirees or their Legal Representatives May Request That The City Reissue Checks.

The City of Chicago sent healthcare premium refund checks to certain City retirees and/or their surviving spouses who participated in the City’s retiree healthcare plan between 2003 and 2013 (“Healthcare Participants”).  The City’s records show that some of the refund checks have not been cashed. 

The City recently sent letters in the mail to Healthcare Participants who are payees of potentially uncashed checks and provided instructions about how to request that the checks be reissued. 

In addition, Healthcare Participants and/or their legal representatives may search the City’s website to determine whether they may be entitled to request that checks be reissued. 

Here’s how:

To find out if a Healthcare Participant may have an uncashed refund check, please enter the name below to search for the Healthcare Participant’s name. If you find the name that you were searching for, please print out and complete the form available here:  Uncashed Retiree Healthcare Refund Form
