AMBA’s Kearns
to speak at PERI picnic luncheon
Members of Public Employee Retirees, Inc. (PERI) and Ohio Public
Employee Retirees, (OPERS), who are eligible to become members, will
not only enjoy a picnic lunch at the VFW on Monday, August 7, 11:30
a.m., on Ohio St., Greenville, but will have the opportunity to learn
and evaluate new membership insurance benefits that are now available
to them as Alan Kearns, Regional Vice President of AMBA, takes the
floor. Nonmember Reservations must be in to Vivian Nieport, PERI
Attendance and Contact Chairman, by calling (937) 548-3961 on or before
Wednesday, August 2. Members will be contacted by PERI's calling
committee.
AMBA, which stands for Association Member Benefits Advisors, entered
into an agreement with the State organization of PERI earlier this
year. As a result, members of all eleven PERI districts
throughout the State of Ohio are eligible to participate. Each of
the eleven districts includes eight chapters. Darke County
is a member of District 3. Other Chapters in the District
are Champaign, Clark, Greene, Logan, Miami, Montgomery, and Preble
Counties. Each chapter meets separately, holds its own meetings,
and plans its own programs.
Kearns, pronounced Karns, has been with AMBA for nine years.
Originally from Indiana, he moved to Ohio five years ago and oversees
both Ohio's and West Virginia's programs. According to information
published by the State office of PERI, twenty AMBA benefits are
currently being offered to PERI members, only, and ten additional
benefit programs are being planned.
All attendees at PERI's meeting, members or not, are welcome to
ask questions. Some questions that have already come up are "How
to apply for AMBA's benefits?" "What if any are the added costs?"
and "How will they be coordinated with existing insurance reimbursement
and Medicare Supplemental plans to avoid duplications that could cause
some insurance claims to be denied?" Kearns is making himself
available to answer these questions and many more.
