For 2022: Old HP and HPE Enrollment Guides (May 25, 2022)

Current Enrollment Guides are at:   https://www.hpalumni.org/EnrollmentGuides

We have searchable copies of the Annual Enrollment Guides for HP, HPE, and DEC retirees here on the HP/HPE Alumni Association website. (Operated by volunteers. Not officially endorsed or supported.)

Many changes. Lots packed into an Enrollment Guide -- especially in the last pages. Go through your Enrollment Guide very carefully -- and mark it up. The last pages cover important limitations.

Even if you have a paper copy, download the current file and use Adobe Reader's search feature to find specific words or phrases (Ctrl-F, F3, or Command-F.)

There are two HP retirement programs -- the "Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program" and the current "HP Retiree Medical Program." "2003" refers to the year when HP implemented the program, not your retirement year. HP: "May apply if you retired from HP before 2003, or if you were with HP on December 31, 2002, and retired at a later date with eligibility for the program (this typically meant retiring at age 55 or later with at least 15 years of qualifying service, having at least 62 age-plus-service "points" as of December 31, 2005, and being within five years of qualifying as of June 30, 2007). This program generally does not apply if you joined HP through the Compaq or EDS acquisitions." Details: https://www.hpalumni.org/Pre2003

[Aon Retiree Health Exchange is now Alight Retiree Health Solutions -- May 2022.]

Some HPE retirees are covered by an HP retiree medical program. There are two HP retirement programs -- the "Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program" and the current "HP Retiree Medical Program." "2003" refers to the year when HP implemented the program, not your retirement year. "May apply if you retired from HP before 2003, or if you were with HP on December 31, 2002, and retired at a later date with eligibility for the program (this typically meant retiring at age 55 or later with at least 15 years of qualifying service, having at least 62 age-plus-service "points" as of December 31, 2005, and being within five years of qualifying as of June 30, 2007). This program generally does not apply if you joined HP through the Compaq or EDS acquisitions." Details: https://www.hpalumni.org/Pre2003
