Under the ADEA, the value of the lifetime retiree health benefits for those under the age of 65 is $48,000. Because CP pays 50 percent of the premiums for her benefits, however, the value of the offset must also be reduced by 50 percent, to $24,000. Offsetting $24,000 from a severance package worth $45,000 leaves CP with a severance payment of $21,000.
