Maryland state retirees caught a break when the state put off a plan that would have required them to sign up for Medicare Part D.
WBOC reports that a law approved seven years ago would have required them to enroll by January of next year.
But a District Judge has issued a temporary restraining order halting the transition until a suit by four retirees is resolved.
The state hopes to save $5.5 billion with the transition that would affect 46-thousand state retirees.
As a result the governor has extended the state benefits through December of next year.
