For Retired Employees
New Hospital-Surgical Plan Announced
New hospital-surgical benefits for re
tired employees will become effective
April 1, replacing all former hospital-
surgical plans for Fieldcrest retirees.
A letter and a brochure explaining
the new benefits have been mailed to
each retired employee. The retiree is
urgd to complete the application card
and return it as promptly as possible.
Retired employees are given a choice
of two plans, one of which pays 75 per
cent of covered expenses up to $1,000
per year for each person and the other
which pays 75 per cent of the covered
expenses up to $2,000 per year for each
person. Either plan may be selected,
depending upon the level of benefits
desired.
Fieldcrest Plan will be computed as
though he were a subscriber to Part B.
For the convenience of retired em
ployees in paying their premiums, ar
rangements have been made with the
Wachovia Bank & Trust Company,
trustee of the Fieldcrest Pension Fund,
to deduct payments from the pension
checks each month.
If any assistance is required or there
are any questions concerning the hos
pital-surgical plan, retirees are invited
to contact any member of the Indus
trial Relations Department who will be
glad to give assistance or answer any
questions.
The retiree may cover wife, husband,
or other eligible dependent for the same
benefits. However, if the wife or hus
band is still working, then he or she
should continue the plan provided for
active employees.
Retirees who are 65 or older who have
not subscribed to Part B (Supplemen

should do so at once. If a retiree is eli
gible to subscribe for Part B of Medicare
and fails to do so, his benefits under the
