Reed Union provides retired employees $158/month for health insurance plus $355/month in reimbursements.

The district has established a trust fund (CERBT) to save money for these future costs and contributed $200,000 in 2024-25. The report includes projections of annual payments needed and analyzes data from 7 retirees and 122 active employees who may eventually qualify for benefits.
