| Medical Opt-Out |
|
Employees may opt out of medical coverage if they have other employer-sponsored group coverage as defined by PEBB. Employees must provide proof of this coverage to their agency within five days of enrollment.
Other group coverage does not include Medicare, TRICARE, Medicaid, Veterans Administration Health Benefits, or Student Health Insurance. Members who opt out will receive a monthly payment of $233 (prorated for part-time employees according to hours worked compared with full-time). The cost of their mandatory dental and basic life premiums will be deducted from that amount pretax. The balance will be added to their monthly pay as taxable income.

| Decline Benefits |
|
Otherwise-eligible employees may decline all benefits. If you decline all benefits, you choose not to participate in the PEBB program, and you receive no portion of the monthly benefit amount from the employer.
