Retirees returning to work in a PEBB benefit-eligible position are eligible for employee benefits. You must work the equivalent of at least half time during the month to be eligible for benefits for the following month. Job share employees are not required to work half time.
For retirees returning within 12 months of their retirement date benefits are reinstated. Reinstatement means to reactivate all previous medical, dental, life and disability insurance policies, if available, on a guaranteed basis.
NOTE: Special conditions apply to the Standard Life insurance coverage if converted or ported. Contact Standard.
Retirees who return beyond 12 months from their retirement date must re-enroll for benefits.
Full-time employees are not eligible for part-time and retiree plans. Part-time employees receive a pro-rated benefit contribution (based on the hours worked) and may choose from all the medical and dental plans.
Retirees enrolled in a PEBB retiree plan may suspend PEBB retiree coverage while in active employee status by notifying BenefitHelp Solutions (BHS), the third-party administrator. You must notify BHS when you are no longer an active employee meeting the half time work criterion. Your coverage must be continuous to remain eligible to participate in PEBB plans.
Non-Medicare eligible retirees have the option of declining active employee benefits. Medicare-enrolled retirees must enroll in the PEBB active employee plans because of the Medicare secondary payor rules.
