The PEBB Program’s annual open enrollment runs through Nov. 30

The Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) Program’s annual open enrollment began Tuesday, Nov. 1, and ends Wednesday, Nov. 30.

Open enrollment is your opportunity to make changes to your health plans and enrollment. Annual open enrollment changes are effective Jan. 1, 2023. This means that even if you make changes during the annual open enrollment period, your enrollment will stay the same through Dec. 31.

Changes you can make

During annual open enrollment you can: 

  • Change medical and dental plans.
  • Add or remove dependents
  • Attest to the spouse or state-registered domestic partner (SRDP) coverage premium surcharge for 2023, if required. The PEBB Program will mail a letter in late October at the address on file to those who cover a spouse or SRDP and are required to attest. You can also log into PEBB My Account to determine if you are required to reattest. Beginning November 1, you can also log into PEBB My Account to determine if you are required to reattest.
  • Enroll in the Medical Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA), Limited Purpose FSA, or Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP) through Navia Benefit Solutions.
  • Enroll in medical coverage if previously waived.
  • Waive your medical coverage if you are enrolled in another employer-based group medical plan, a TRICARE plan, or Medicare.

Learn more about the changes you can make on the PEBB open enrollment webpage and in the October For Your Benefit newsletter

How to make changes

Starting November 1, you can make a change by:
