Information to assist state agencies with determining eligibility for the employer contribution toward Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) benefits for elected and full-time appointed officials of the legislative and executive branches of state government, justices, and judges.
Employers must provide written notice of the determination of eligibility (or ineligibility) for the employer contribution toward PEBB benefits to employees upon hire and when an official experiences a change in eligibility (PEBB Policy 11-1). The notice should be provided within a reasonable time frame as part of the hiring process.
The eligibility worksheets serve as the approved method for determining eligibility for PEBB benefits and providing required notice.
Eligibility for the employer contribution toward PEBB benefits is determined in accordance with Title 182 WAC and any additional policies, procedures, or written guidance issued by the PEBB Program.
Officials, justices, and judges who are determined to be eligible for PEBB benefits have 31-days after the date they become eligible to elect PEBB benefits by submitting enrollment forms and dependent verification documents (if applicable) to their benefits administrator (BA). However, they must have no less than ten calendar days after the date of receiving notice of their eligibility to elect benefits.
