The changes won't start to phase in until 2013. But they show how companies are beginning to respond to the new law, which should make it easier for people in their 50s and early-60s to find affordable policies on their own.

Both groups will get an unspecified health reimbursement instead of having access to a company-sponsored health plan.

A 3M spokeswoman, Jacqueline Berry, confirmed the contents of the memo.
