The last business day in August falls on a Sunday.  Retirees may expect payments via direct deposit to be made on Friday, August 29th.  Retirees who receive a paper check should be aware that they will be mailed on Wednesday, August 27th and will be dated August 29th.

If you participate in the Town of Weymouth Health Insurance program, and you (or your spouse) will soon be 65 years of age – you are reminded that the Town requires that you enroll in Medicare Part A & B.  If you are uncertain of your eligibility, a visit to the Quincy Social Security Office or the Hanover Social Security Office may answer any questions you have. Once you have your Medicare A & B card from Social Security, please remember to provide a copy to us at the Weymouth Retirement Office, and you will be enrolled in the Medicare Enhance supplement.

On behalf of the Board, Marsha, and Jo-Ann, we wish you an enjoyable Labor Day holiday weekend.  Our office will be closed on Monday, September 1st.
