The open enrollment period for PEBA insurance benefits is Oct. 1–31, 2020. During open enrollment, permanent full-time employees who are currently eligible for insurance benefits may change their coverage for the following year.
Employees are encouraged to review their current coverage, the 2021 insurance summary and their open enrollment options on the PEBA insurance website. If satisfied with your current coverage, no action is required.
The 2020 open enrollment options include:
- Health Insurance: You may change from one health plan to another, enroll yourself or any eligible dependents and drop health coverage for yourself or any dependents.
- Vision Insurance: You may enroll in or drop the State Vision Plan coverage for yourself and/or your eligible dependents.
- Additional Life Insurance: You may enroll in or drop Dependent Life–Child coverage; drop or decrease Optional Life and/or Dependent Life–Spouse coverage; and/or enroll in or increase Optional Life coverage and/or Dependent Life–Spouse coverage.

- MoneyPlus: You may enroll in or cancel the MoneyPlus Pretax Group Insurance Premium feature. You may also enroll in or drop a Health Savings Account and re-enroll, enroll or drop the following flexible spending accounts: Medical Spending, Limited-use Spending and Dependent Care Spending.
