WHAT IF I...?
Turn Age 65 or 70

If You Turn Age 65
Here's what you need to do:

  • Medical Benefits. Once you or a dependent becomes eligible for Medicare, whether or not your Valassis plan will continue to be your primary medical coverage while you are an active Valassis associate depends on the medical plan in which you are enrolled. Please contact the customer service number on your medical identification card to determine which plan will be primary.

  • Social Security. About three months before your 65th birthday, contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to find out about Social Security and Medicare benefits.

  • Retirement Savings Plans. Participation continues without any changes. As long as you remain an active associate, you are not required to begin receiving payments.

  • Valassis Direct Mail and Sales & Marketing associates paid through PeopleSoft Frozen and/or Discontinued Retirement Plans. Valassis Direct Mail and Sales & Marketing associates paid through PeopleSoft who participate/d in a frozen or discontinued retirement plan may be eligible for a benefit. Please contact Corporate Benefits at 1-860-285-6100 if you participate/d in a frozen plan or a plan that has been discontinued.

If You Turn Age 70
Here's what you need to do:

  • Life Insurance. Your Basic Life and AD&D Insurance will be reduced at age 70 and again at age 75.
