Find information on the open enrollment page that’s right for you: PEBB retirees, PEBB employees and PEBB continuation coverage subscribers, and SEBB employees and SEBB continuation coverage subscribers.
Your employer will determine if you are eligible for the employer contribution toward PEBB benefits based on your specific employment circumstance.
You cannot enroll in medical, dental, or vision coverage under two PEBB accounts. If you are eligible as an employee and as a dependent under someone else's account, visit Waive my coverage for options available to you.
You and your state-registered domestic partner (SRDP) are independently eligible for PEBB insurance coverage. Since you cannot have medical, dental, or vision coverage under two accounts, you decide to waive PEBB medical for yourself and enroll as a dependent on your SRDP's PEBB medical coverage.
You and your dependents can enroll in health plans through only one program. If you enroll in both PEBB and SEBB benefits and do not take action to resolve the dual enrollment, the SEBB Program or PEBB Program will automatically enroll or disenroll you. Refer to related laws and rules at the bottom of this page.
You are eligible for PEBB benefits and your SRDP is eligible for SEBB benefits. Since you cannot have coverage under both programs, you decide to waive PEBB medical, dental, and vision for yourself and enroll as a dependent on your SRDP's SEBB medical, dental, and vision coverage.
Your employer determines if you are eligible. If you disagree with the determination, you can file an appeal. Refer to related laws and rules at the bottom of the page for more information.
If you are an employee from an employer group that receives PEBB benefits through a contract with HCA, such as a county, municipality, political subdivision, or tribal government contact your payroll or benefits office about eligibility.

"Faculty" means an academic employee of an institution of higher education whose workload is not defined by work hours but whose appointment, workload, and duties directly serve the institution's academic mission.
If you are faculty, you are eligible for PEBB benefits upon employment if your employer anticipates you will work half-time or more for the entire instructional year or equivalent nine-month period.
If your employer does not anticipate you will meet the eligibility criteria described above, you may be eligible as follows:
You are eligible for PEBB benefits at the beginning of the second consecutive quarter or semester of employment, if you are anticipated to work (or have actually worked) half-time or more. Spring and fall are considered consecutive quarters/semesters when first establishing eligibility for faculty that work less than half-time during the summer quarter/semester.
If you receive additional workload after the beginning of the anticipated work period (quarter, semester, or instructional year), and are anticipated to work (or have actually worked half-time or more) making your workload meet the eligibility criteria above, you become eligible when the revision is made.
You may become eligible by working as faculty for more than one higher-education institution. Faculty workloads may only be stacked with other faculty workloads to establish or maintain eligibility. When you work for more than one higher-education institution, you must notify all employing agencies that you work at more than one institution and may be eligible for PEBB benefits through stacking. A faculty becomes eligible for PEBB benefits through stacking when the employer anticipates they will work half-time or more for the entire instructional year or equivalent nine-month period.
You may continue any combination of medical, dental, or vision, and may also continue life and AD&D insurance when you are between periods of eligibility and are not eligible for the employer contribution by self-paying the premiums and applicable premium surcharges (for a maximum of 12 months).

If you are a benefits-eligible seasonal employee who works a season of nine months or more, you are also eligible for the employer contribution through the off-season following each season worked, but the eligibility may not exceed a total of twelve consecutive calendar months for the combined season and off-season.
If you work a season of less than nine months, you are not eligible for the employer contribution during the off season. You may continue any combination of medical, dental, or vision, and may also continue life and AD&D insurance when you are between periods of eligibility and not eligible for the employer contribution by self-paying the premiums and applicable premium surcharges for a maximum of 12 months. Visit Am I eligible? (PEBB Continuation Coverage) for more information.
