FAQs for PEBB benefits administrators
- If an employee's spouse has a retiree policy that covers the employee, can they waive medical?
-
No. They can only waive PEBB medical coverage if they are enrolled in other employer-based group medical insurance, a TRICARE plan, or Medicare Part A and Part B. Retirement policies are not employer-based, so they do not qualify. See WAC 182-12-128 for additional information.
- Where can benefits administrators and employees learn about PEBB Retiree Insurance?
-
Benefits administrators (BAs) and employees can review the current PEBB Retiree Insurance Enrollment Guide and visit the Retirees section of the Employee and retiree benefits website to learn about PEBB Retiree Insurance and the eligibility and enrollment requirements.
Information about retiree insurance is also available to BAs on the PEBB BA website:
- Visit the Retiring and PEBB Retiree Insurance webpage for state agencies and higher ed, or
- Visit the Retiring and PEBB Retiree Insurance webpage for employer groups.
