PEBB Retiree Insurance

No, you can sign up for Continuation Coverage (COBRA) for up to 18 months after you retire/leave employment with the district. You could opt into a spouse’s medical plan under a special open enrollment event. You could also enroll in Marketplace coverage with the State of Washington due to a special open enrollment event. More information can be found on the Continuation Coverage tab of this benefit information.  

Some SEBB supplemental plans have options to continue (port) the policy as self-pay, while others will terminate once you retire/resign.

The Health Equity Health Savings Account is yours even if you change jobs, insurance plans, or retire.

Please access your account on Health Equity.

Employer Paid Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance will end on the last day of the month in which the employee is eligible for the employer contribution for benefits.

You may be eligible to continue some or all of your Employee Paid Life Insurance by applying for the Portability or Conversion option no later than 60 days after employer-based group medical insurance coverage ends.

You may transfer some or all of your life insurance, up to plan maximums, to a spouse or state-registered domestic partner’s account, if they are also enrolled in SEBB benefits.

You will either have to terminate your FSA once you retire/resign, or there are options to continue participating.

Keep in mind that once your employment is terminated that you can continue to submit claims after you retire/resign, but the plan will only pay for claims incurred before your SEBB benefit end date. Money left in your account after that date cannot be refunded and will be forfeited to Navia or the Health Care Authority. This is called the “use it or lose it” rule.

If you elect to continue participation in Medical FSA then you will be able to use the plan for the remainder of the year in their accelerated contributions or COBRA options.

There are no continuation options available for the Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP) and this plan will terminate when the employer-based group medical insurance coverage ends.
